Intro A7A7

   DmDm               C majorC
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
   DmDm     Dm/maj7    A augmentedA         A7A7
With political connections to spread his wealth around
G5G5
Born into society a banker's only child
    DmDm  C majorC    FF        A7A7
He had everything a man could want; power, grace and style

FF          DmDm
But I -- work in his factory
   G5G5
And I curse the life I'm living,

And I curse my poverty
                 FF         DmDm
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
   G5G5        G7G7        DmDm
Oh I wish that I could be  -  Richard Cory

   DmDm               C majorC
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
    DmDm     Dm/maj7    A augmentedA     A7A7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
     G5G5
And the rumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
    DmDm   C majorC    FF     A7A7
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got


FF          DmDm
But I -- work in his factory
   G5G5
And I curse the life I'm living,

And I curse my poverty
                 FF         DmDm
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
   G5G5        G7G7        DmDm
Oh I wish that I could be  -  Richard Cory

  DmDm             C majorC
G5: xx0033


He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch
        DmDm       Dm/maj7       A augmentedA        A7A7
And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much
   G5G5
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
DmDm   C majorC     FF             DmDm
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head


FF          DmDm
But I -- work in his factory
   G5G5
And I curse the life I'm living,

And I curse my poverty
                 FF         DmDm
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
   G5G5        A7A7        DmDm
Oh I wish that I could be  -  Richard Cory
