Billy Joe Royal - These are not my people

First your ^Fmama and your papa sent you to the finest ^Cschool. Never ^Flet it be said that their little darling was a ^Cfool. With a ^Fcredit card and your good ^Gname, your're ^Cdrawn like a moth to the ^Fflame..to the ^Dmpeople of the night where you more or less lost your ^Gcool.

Yeah, you had ^C20/20 vision and ^Fstill you were walking around ^Cblind. ^CYes, and whether right or wrong, I ^Fstill tag along be^Chind. But you're ^Fflying too high for ^Gme, and if ^Cthis is how it's got to ^Fbe. Then it's ^Dmtime to say, you go your way, I go ^Gmine. ^GIt's been a gas, but I'm gonna have to pass.

^DmThese are not ^Cmy ^Gpeople..^Cthese are not my ^Ampeople. Looks like the ^Dmend, my friend..^Ggonna get in the ^Cwind,

^CYou find yourself naked in the ^Fworld with no place to ^Chide. ^CThen you felt the pulse of your ^Fmind and it had ^Cdied. And all you ^Frebels that have got no ^Gcause, and all you ^Ctigers that have got no ^Fclaws. They ^Dmpromise you the world on a string, but you know they ^Glied.

^GYeah, you ^Fsaid you'd be back in a black Cadillac ^Climousine. ^CBut I'm inclined to think it's not the ^Fkind you ^Cmean. Cause when you ^Ffall down off your ^Gcloud and you're ^Cjust another face in the ^Fcrowd. They're gonna ^Dmthrow you away like last weeks maga^Gzines.. ^Gparty pals and socialable gals.

^DmThese are not ^Cmy ^Gpeople..^Cthese are not my ^Ampeople. Looks like the ^Dmend, my friend..^Ggonna get in the ^Cwind,

^AmLooks like the ^Dmend, my friend..^Ggotta ^Dmget in the ^Cwind, my ^Amfriend. ^AmLooks like the ^Dmend, my friend..^Ggonna get in the ^Cwind, my
