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