As recorded by Blue Öyster Cult (From the 2024 Album GHOST STORIES) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
In this dirty old part of the city

C
Where the sun refused to shine

C
People tell me there ain't no use in trying

C
My little girl you're so young and pretty

C
One thing I know is true

C
You'll be dead before your time is through, yes you will
[Pre-Chorus]
C
See my daddy in bed, he's dying

C
You know his hair is turning gray

C
He's been working and slaving his life away

C
We gotta work

C
Work

C
We gotta work

C
Work, work, work, work
[Chorus]
F            Bb          C
We gotta get out of this place

F                         G    C
If it's the last thing we ever do

F            Bb          C
We gotta get out of this place

Dm                                         F Eb Bb C F Eb Bb C
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
