Chords for Richard Cory - Live from NYC 1967 (Simon & Garfunkel)

There's a song that comes out of the second album, the Sounds of Silence album,
which is an adaptation of an Edwin Arlington Robinson poem,
written [A] many years ago and studied by myself in junior [A] high school.
_ _ The poem is called Richard [D] Corey.
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _

_ _ They say that Richard Corey [C] owns one half of this whole town
[D] With political connections [A] to spread his wealth around
[G] Born into a society of bankers only child
[D] He had [Fm] everything a man could [A] want
_ _ _ [F] _ _ But I, I [D] work in his factory
[G] And I curse the life on them
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
[F] Oh I wish that [D] I could [G] be
Oh I wish that I could [F] be Richard [D] Corey _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Papers, printers, picture
[C] Almost everywhere he goes [D] Richard Corey
At the opera [A] Richard Corey
At a show
[D] And the [G] rumor of his party
And the orgies on his yacht
[D] Oh he surely [F] must be happy
[A] With everything he's got
[Fm] _ _
But I, [D] I work in his factory
And [G] I curse the life on them
And I curse [C] my [G] poverty
And I wish that I could be
[F] Oh I wish that [D] I could be
[G] Oh I wish that I could be [D] Richard Corey _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He freely gave to [C] charity
He had the common touch
[D] And they were grateful for his patronage
[A] And they thanked him very much
[G] So my mind was filled with wonder
When the evening [Em] headlines read
[D] Richard [C] Corey went home last night
[D] Put a bullet through his head
[F] _ _ _
_ But I, [D] I work in his factory
And [G] I curse the life on them
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
[F] Oh I wish that [D] I could be
[G] Oh I wish that I could [A] be _ _
