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

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

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

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

E D A B x2
