[Verse]
F C
I can't say that I love this place where I live
Gm A#
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
Gm A#
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
Gm A#
And deadly looking stoves
F C
While I begged him to take to the army navy surplus stores on canal street
Gm A# F
to buy big dead bullets
[Verse]
F C Gm A#
He wore a short cordury jacket, an informal hat with puff of feather
F C Gm A#
And he talked with his hands in his pants pockets jangling change
F C
Driving his Cadillac it was Elvis Presley's birthday
Gm A#
They said it on the radio
F C Gm A#
My father like Elvis and it was worderful
F
We drove trough black nieghborhoods
C Gm A# 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
Gm A#
From picking up coal on the railroad tracks
F C Gm A#
He didn't have a good word to say about Franklin Delano Roosvelt
F C
Later I liked elegant hotel bars
Gm A#
where I could drink under F. Scott Fitzgerald Skies
F C Gm A#
The coolest of the cool, never a child on Elvis Presley's birthday's
F C Gm A#
My dead father jangling change
[Outro]
F C Gm A#
This is an unreal City, you can be anybody when you're alone
[Ending]
