The Doobie Brothers
Capo: 1
After free form gospel piano intro:
| B5 | B5 | A2 | A2 | A2 | E | B5 | B5. A2... |
[B5]Workin' real hard in the heart of the city
[A2]Noonday sun feelin' hot and sweaty
A2 E |B5 | B5. A2... |
Tryin' to make my pay tryin' to make my monthly rent
[B5]Workin' real hard for the U.S. dollar
[A2]Livin' real poor gonna make me holler
[A2]I don't wanna live in[E] the street like some f[B5]olks do
I was [E]raised up on the corner in [B5]front of a grocery store
[F#]Shinin' shoes with the daily news[G#m] for two bits on the floor
But [E]given the chance I'd go back to[B5] the days of a simpler time
Cause [F#]this ol' world's gone crazy[F#7] and I'm about to lose my mind
[B5]Workin' real hard in the heart of the city
[A2]Noonday sun feelin' hot and sweaty
A2 E |B5 | B5. A2... |
Tryin' to make my pay tryin' to make my monthly rent
[B5]Workin' real hard for the U.S. dollar
[A2]Livin' real poor gonna make me holler
[A2]I don't wanna live in[E] the street like some f[B5]olks do
My [E]brother drives delivery right [B5]down on Dauphine Street
[F#]. Had a little house by the railroad track, kinda [G#m]small but it was neat
[E]The police came and got him for [B5]robbin' a liquor store
And [F#]even though he didn't do it [F#7]they got what they came for
[B5]Workin' real hard in the heart of the city
[A2]Noonday sun feelin' hot and sweaty
A2 E |B5 | B5. A2... |
Tryin' to make my pay tryin' to make my monthly rent
[B5]Workin' real hard for the U.S. dollar
[A2]Livin' real poor gonna make me holler
[A2]I don't wanna live in[E] the street like some f[B5]olks do
It'[G#m];s a poor man w[F#]ho's life is bittersweet
[E]Doesn't wanna lose that good thing that [B5]he's got
But that [G#m]same ol' government[F#] who pays you every week
Will [A2]come and take your home away and [E]put you in the [F#]street
