[E]
We grew up together, two kids [A] in that same [B] dirty street
Often [E]
cold and hungry with little [B] to eat
We [A] were born to that life of [E] want and [B] poverty
[A] And living [E] wasn't easy [B] for Mary [E] and me
When you're cold [B] and hungry [E] it's hard to keep those dreams
[B] alive
[E] For you need all the strength and the will if you want to [B] survive
[G#] But I [A] never gave up [E] my dreams and neither did [B] she
And
[A] living [E] wasn't easy for Mary and me
You [B] were born in the slum, [E] little boy
[B] And you'll die in the slum, [E] little boy
[B] You were born in the slum [E] and you've never [C#m] seen the sun
[B] You'll be there till kingdom come, [E] little boy
But we dreamed of [B] the day [E] that we'd both get away from that [B] slum
To that [E] place [B] outside where [E] a man could find a spot in [B] the sun
[A] Although we [E] dreamed our dreams, they were never [B] to be
And [A] living wasn't [E] easy [B] for Mary [E] and me
Mary came to [B] me [E] and she said she was [A] five months [B] gone
So we [E] married that [B] spring [E] before our son [A#] [B] was born
And [A] before we knew our [E] children, day number [B] three
And [A] living [Em] wasn't easy [B] for Mary [E] and me
You [B] were born in the slum, [E] little boy
[B] And you'll die in the slum, [A] little [E] boy
[B] You were born in the slum [E] and you've never [C#m] seen the sun
[B] You'll be there till kingdom come, [E] little boy
Now our kids [B] are growing [E] up [A] in that same [B] Dorothy Street
[E] Often [B] cold [E] and hungry with little to [B] eat
They [G#m] [A] were born to the life [E] of want and [B] poverty
And [A] living [E] wasn't easy [B] for Mary [E] and me
Oh I wish [B] to God [E] this [A] weary life [B] was done
[E] Oh I wish [B] to God [E] that I was dead [G] and [B] gone
For [A] if that's the only [E] way that we can be [B] free
[G#m] [B]
[A] Then dying will [E] be easy [B] for Mary [E] and me
You were [B] born in the slum, [E] little boy
[B] And you'll die in the slum, [E] little boy
[B] You were born in the slum [E] and you've never [C#m] seen the sun
