Picasso's Last Words/Richard Cory chords
Start Jamming...
This is where we have a little sit down now and play our acoustic guitars for a [G] while.
So take yourself self if you like.
Not if you're sitting down the front, guys.
This is a wee drinking song from Van Landeron here.
A grand [D] old placer, [F] that [G] last night
Placing it [C] off [D] the wall
[Am]
Before he went, he bade us well
[D] He said goodnight to [G] us all
A [Bm] drink to me, [Em] a drink to [Am] my health
[G] You know I [D] can't drink [G] anymore
[D] A [G]
drink [Bm] to me, [Em] a drink to [Am] my health
[G] You know I [D] can't drink [C] anymore
[G] Three [Bm] o'clock in [Em] the morning
[Bm] Getting ready [Em] for bed
[Am] Came without [G] a warning
I'll [Bm] be waiting for you there
[Am] I'll be waiting [D] for you [G] there
A [Bm] drink to me, [Em] a drink to [Am] my health
[G] You know I [D] can't drink [G] anymore
[D]
[G] A drink [Bm] to me, [Em] a drink to [Am] my health
[G] You know I [D] can't drink [G] [C] anymore
[B] [Bb] [A]
[D] [Eb]
This is [Ab] a song that I wrote in the spring
With [Eb]
Jessica Bistan, Sylvia [Ab] Barton, Jenny [F] Westmuller
She's good, I'm [Gm] old, too much for sure, hey baby
[F] They [Bb]
[G] [Em]
say that Richard Corey
Comes on [D] top of this old town
[Em] With political connections
[B] He spreads his wealth around
[A] He was born into society
The banker's only [D] child
He [Em] paid [D] everything [G] for a man's good [A] one
[B] But he plays in style
[Bm] The [G] [Em]
people's vintage future
In [D] almost every place he goes
[Em] Richard Corey at the opera
Richard [B] Corey at the Jews
And [A] the rumour of his parties
And the orgies on his yacht
[D] [Em] He really [D] must [G] be happy
[A] [B] With everything he's got
[G] But I work [Em] in his factory
[Am] I push the life [Em] I'm living
[Am] Push my [Em] poverty
[Am] Oh, I wish that I [Em] could be
[Am] I wish that I [Em] could be
[Am] I wish that I [B] could be [Em] Richard Corey Oh, yeah
He really gave to the charities in town
[D] He had the common touch
[Em] And they were thankful for his patronage
[B] So they thanked him very much
[A] The man would feel the wonder
When the evening is already
[Bm] [Em] Richard [D] Corey [G] went home last night
And put a [A] bullet through his [Em]
head
But [G] I work [Em] in his factory
I [Am] push the life [Em] I'm living
[Am] Push my [Em] poverty
[Am] Wish that I [Em] could be
[Am] Wish that I could [Em] be
[Am] Wish that I could [B] be [Em] Richard Corey
