Capo 4th fret
Intro A7
Am G
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
Am E7
With political connections to spread his wealth around
D5
Born into society a banker's only child
Am G C E7
He had everything a man could want; power, grace and style
C Am
But I -- work in his factory
D5
And i curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
C Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
D5 D7 Am
Oh I wish that i could be - Richard Cory
Am G
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
Am E7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
D5
And the rumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
Am G C E7
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got
C Am
But I -- work in his factory
D5
And I curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
C Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
D5 D7 Am
Oh I wish that i could be - Richard Cory
Am G
He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch
Am E7
And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much
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
C Am
But I -- work in his factory
D5
And i curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
C Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
D5 E7 Am
Oh I wish that i could be - Richard Cory
