[Verse 1]
They D5say that Richard Cory owns one hC5alf of this whole town
With poD5litical connections to spA5read his wealth around
G5Born into society a banker's only child
He had D5everythC5ing a maF5n could want; poA5wer, grace and style
[Chorus 1]
F5But I work in his D5factory
And I G5curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I F5wish that I could D5be

And I cG5urse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I F5wish that I could D5be

[Verse 3]
He fD5reely gave to charities, he C5had the common touch
And they were gD5rateful for his patronage, and they thaA5nked him very much
So my G5mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
D5Richard CC5ory went hF5ome last night and put a D5bullet through his head
[Chorus 3]
F5But I work in his D5factory
And I cG5urse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I F5wish that I could D5be
Oh I G5wish that I could A5be - Richard D5Cory
