Intro: C  Gaug  C  Gaug  C  Gaug  C  G7 

verse 1 
    C          Gaug 
The morning is bright 
    C          Gaug 
As 'Rapper's Delight' 
       C        G7            C       Gaug 
Floats up to my room from the street 
    C           Gaug 
And who would disturb 
   C         Gaug 
A slumbering world 
C              G7        C     Gaug 
With this late seventies beat? 

 
    F         G 
I'm taking my aim 
     F           G 
From this window pane 
        F           Em       C 
And I'm turning the gun on myself 

verse 2 
    C          Gaug 
The Upper West Side 
      C           Gaug 
Is supposed to be quiet 
        C           G7          C     Gaug 
It's supposed to be wealthy and dull 
   C        Gaug 
So how to explain 
     C          Gaug 
This thundering pain 
       C           G7             C      Gaug 
That's pushing its way through my skull 

 
    F        G 
I'm taking a leave 
      F           G 
Of my senses, you see 
        F           Em       C 
And I'm turning the gun on myself 

verse 3 
C           Gaug 
New York is loud 
     C           Gaug 
It's wonderfully loud 
  C             G7       C     Gaug 
I wouldn't live anywhere else 
    C         Gaug 
But I need my rest 
   C        Gaug 
To be at my best 
 C            G7       C     Gaug 
Away from the high decibels 

 
    F         G 
I'm losing my will 
    F           G 
I'm shooting to kill 
        F           Em       C 
And I'm turning the gun on myself 
    F         G 
I'm losing my will 
        F           G 
And I'm shooting to kill 
        F           Em       C 
And I'm turning the gun on myself
