Verse:
D#m                C#           D#m
In this dirty old part of the city,
D#m              C#       D#m
where the sun refuse to shine.
D#m                   C#               D#m
People tell me there ainʼt no use in tryinʼ.

D#m                    C#         D#m
Now my girl youʼre so young and pretty,
D#m              C#       D#m
and one thing I know is true.
D#m               C#                 D#m
Youʼll be dead before your time is due. (I know)

D#m                C#     D#m
Watch my daddy in bed a-dying.
D#m               C#       D#m
Watch his hair a turning grey.
D#m                    C#                 D#m
Heʼs been working and slavinʼ his life away.
(oh, yes I know)
                 D#m
(Yeah!) Heʼs been workinʼ so hard.
(Yeah!) Iʼve been workinʼ too, baby.
(Yeah!) Every night and day.
(yeah  yeah  yeah  yeah)

Chorus:
F#            B          C#
We gotta get out of this place,
F#                         G#    C#
if itʼs the last thing we ever do.
F#            B          C#
We gotta get out of this place.
D#m
Girl, thereʼs a better life for me and you.

F# E B C# x2
