Stephen Sondheim - "I'm Still Here
C7C7 Absus4/G C7C7 Absus4/G
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear, I'm still here
C7C7 Absus4/G Em6Em6 A9A9
Plush velvet sometimes Sometimes just pretzels and beer, but I'm here
D9D9 G-9
I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes
Em9Em9 A-9
Strummed ukuleles, sung the blues
Dm11Dm11 A7A7 C7C7 Absus4/G
Seen all my dreams disappear but I'm here.
C7C7 Absus4/G C7C7 Absus4/G
I've slept in shanties, guest of the W.P.A., but I'm here
C7C7 Absus4/G Em6Em6 A9A9
Danced in my scanties, Three bucks a night was the pay, but I'm here
D9D9 G-9
I've stood on bread lines with the best
Em9Em9 A-9
Watched while the headlines did the rest
DmDm G-9 Em6Em6 A-9
In the depression was I depressed? Nowhere near,
DmDm G+G C7C7 Absus4/G
I met a big financier and I'm here
C7C7 Absus4/G C7C7 Absus4/G
I've been through Gandhi, Windsor and Wally's affair, and I'm here
C7C7 Absus4/G Em6Em6 A9A9
Amos 'n' Andy, Mah-jongg and platinum hair, and I'm here
D9D9 G-9 Em9Em9 A-9
I got through Abie's, Irish Rose, Five Dionne babies, Major Bowes
DmDm G-9 Em6Em6 A-9
Had heebie-jeebies for Beebe's, Bathysphere

I got through Brenda Frazier, and I'm here

Gee, that was fun and a half
E minorEm A9A9 A7A7
When you've been through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover
D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7 G9G9
Anything else is a laugh
C7C7 Absus4/G C7C7 Absus4/G
I've been through Reno, I've been through Beverly Hills, and I'm here.
C7C7 Absus4/G Em6Em6 A9A9
Reefers and vino, rest cures, religion and pills, and I'm here
D9D9 G-9 Em9Em9 A-9
Been called a 'Pinko', commie tool, got through it stinko by my pool
DmDm G-9 Em9Em9 A-9
I should've gone to an acting school, that seems clear
DmDm G+G C7C7 Absus4/G
Still someone said, "She's sincere", so I'm here
G9G9 F#m7-5 B#9
I've gotten through, "Hey, lady, aren't you whoozis?
Em/GEm/G Am6/F# Em/GEm/G
Wow, what a looker you were"
