In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

A#  B  C

A#  B  C
      And one thing I know is true
A#  B  C                            A#  B  C
      You'll be dead before your time is due, 
      I know
A#  B  C
      Watch my daddy in bed a-dying
A#  B  C
      Watch his hair been turning grey
A#  B  C                            A# B C
