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