*CAPO 4th FRET*
(Original Key: F#)
[Intro]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D (x4)
[Verse 1]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
A boy is born, in hard time Missis-sippi,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Surrounded by, four walls that ain't so pretty.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
His parents give, him love and af-fection,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
To keep him strong, moving in the right di-rection.
[Chorus 1]
G A A7 D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Living just enough, just e-nough, for the city... ee ha!
[Verse 2]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
His father works, some days for fourteen hours,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
And you can bet, he barely makes a dollar.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
His mother goes, to scrub the floors for many,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
And you'd best believe, she hardly gets a penny.
[Chorus 2]
G A A7 D Em/D Dm7 Em/D, D
Living just enough, just e-nough, for the city...
[Bridge 1]
D7 G7 Bb Ab
Da ba da da, da da, da, da da da da, da da da.
Ab7 F Eb D
Da da da da, da da da da da.
[Verse 3]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
His sister's black, but she is sho'nuff pretty,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Her skirt is short, but Lord, her legs are sturdy.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
To walk to school, she's got to get up early.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty.
[Chorus 3]
G A A7 D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Living just enough, just e-nough, for the city...
[Verse 4]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
His patience's long, but soon he won't have any.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
To find a job, is like a haystack needle,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
'Cos where he lives, they don't use coloured people.
[Chorus 4]
G A A7 D Em/D Dm7 Em/D, D
Living just enough, just e-nough, for the city...
[Bridge 2]
D7 G7 Bb Ab
Da ba da da, da da, da, da da da da, da da da.
Ab7 F Eb D
Da da da da, da da da da da.
[Break]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D

D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Living just e-nough, for the city.

Living just e-nough, for the city, yeah,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Living just e-nough, for the city.

D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Living just e-nough, for the city.
[Interlude]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D (x4)
[Verse 5]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
He spends his life, walking the streets of New York City.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
He's almost dead, from breathing in air pol-lution,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
He tried to vote, but to him there's no so-lution.
[Chorus 5]
G A A7 D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
Living just enough, just e-nough, for the city...
[Verse 6]
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
I hope you hear, in-side my voice of sorrow;
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
And that it motivates you to make a better to-morrow.
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
This place is cruel, no where could be much colder,
D Em/D Dm7 Em/D
If we don't change; the world will soon be over.
[Chorus 6]
G A A7 D Em/D Dm7 Em/D D
Living just enough, just e-nough, for the city...
[Outro]
D7 G7 Bb Ab
Da ba da da, da da, da, da da da da, da da da.
Ab7 F Eb D
Da da da da, da da da da da.
