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