[Verse]
A E
I can't say that I love this place where I live
Bm D
This particular geographical location but I've grown use to it
A E
And now I miss it when I'm away, of course when I was a kid
Bm D
My father would take me with him down to the bowery where the bums where
A E
And in the restaurants supply stores he would buy shiny steel refrigerators
Bm D
And deadly looking stoves
A E
While I begged him to take to the army navy surplus stores on canal street
Bm D A
to buy big dead bullets
[Verse]
A E Bm D
He wore a short cordury jacket, an informal hat with puff of feather
A E Bm D
And he talked with his hands in his pants pockets jangling change
A E
Driving his Cadillac it was Elvis Presley's birthday
Bm D
They said it on the radio
A E Bm D
My father like Elvis and it was worderful
A
We drove trough black nieghborhoods
E Bm D A
On Long Island's north shore When Elvis was alive
[Verse]
A E
My father was from Brooklyn and the depression left his mark
Bm D
From picking up coal on the railroad tracks
A E Bm D
He didn't have a good word to say about Franklin Delano Roosvelt
A E
Later I liked elegant hotel bars
Bm D
where I could drink under F. Scott Fitzgerald Skies
A E Bm D
The coolest of the cool, never a child on Elvis Presley's birthday's
A E Bm D
My dead father jangling change
[Outro]
A E Bm D
This is an unreal City, you can be anybody when you're alone
[Ending]
