Intro A7
They Dmsay that Richard Cory owns one Chalf of this whole town
Dm Dm/maj7 A A7
With political connections to spread his wealth around
G5Born into society a banker's only child
He had DmeveryCthing a Fman could want; A7power, grace and style
FBut I -- work in his Dmfactory
And I G5curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I Fwish that I could Dmbe
Oh I G5wish that I could G7be - Richard DmCory
The pDmapers print his picture almost Ceverywhere he goes
Dm Dm/maj7 A A7

And the rG5umours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
Oh, he sDmurely mCust be hFappy with eA7verything he's got
FBut I -- work in his Dmfactory
And I G5curse the life I'm living,

He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch
Dm Dm/maj7 A A7
And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much
So my G5mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
DmRichard CCory went Fhome last night and put a Dmbullet through his head
FBut I -- work in his Dmfactory
And I G5curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I Fwish that I could Dmbe
Oh I G5wish that I could A7be - Richard DmCory
