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