     Am                             G
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town

     Am                       E                  E7
With political connections to spread his wealth around

D5                  D5
Born into society a banker's only child

       Am   G       C               E7
He had everything a man could want: power, grace and style
[Chorus]
C                        Am
   But I ... work in his factory

      D5
And I curse the life I'm living

      D5
And I curse my poverty

      D5                         C                 Am
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be

     D5                D5        D5 C5    D5 Am
Oh I wish that I could be   -    Ri-chard Co-ry

    Am                              G
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes

        Am                         E         E7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show

         D5                           D5
And the rumour of his parties and the orgies on his yacht

       Am     G       C          E7
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got
[Chorus]
C                        Am
   But I ... work in his factory

      D5
And I curse the life I'm living

      D5
And I curse my poverty

      D5                         C                 Am
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be

     D5                D5        D5 C5    D5 Am
Oh I wish that I could be   -    Ri-chard Co-ry

   Am                           G
He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch

              Am                                   E                E7
And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much

      D5                                   D5
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read

Am      G         C                         Am
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head
(single strum) (single strum) [Chorus]
    C                  Am
But I ...  work in his factory

      D5
And I curse the life I'm living,

      D5
And I curse my poverty

      D5                         C                 Am
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be

     D5                E7sus4    E7          [ Am ] 
Oh I wish that I could be – ee - e    Richard Cory
