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

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

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

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