Intro A7

   Dm               C
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
   Dm     Dm/maj7    A         A7
With political connections to spread his wealth around
G5
Born into society a banker's only child
    Dm  C    F        A7
He had everything a man could want; power, grace and style

F          Dm
But I -- work in his factory
   G5
And I curse the life I'm living,

And I curse my poverty
                 F         Dm
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
   G5        G7        Dm
Oh I wish that I could be  -  Richard Cory

   Dm               C
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
    Dm     Dm/maj7    A     A7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
     G5
And the rumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
    Dm   C    F     A7
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got


F          Dm
But I -- work in his factory
   G5
And I curse the life I'm living,

And I curse my poverty
                 F         Dm
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
   G5        G7        Dm
Oh I wish that I could be  -  Richard Cory

  Dm             C
G5: xx0033


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
   G5
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
Dm   C     F             Dm
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head


F          Dm
But I -- work in his factory
   G5
And I curse the life I'm living,

And I curse my poverty
                 F         Dm
And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
   G5        A7        Dm
Oh I wish that I could be  -  Richard Cory
