Cloud Nine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Childhood part of my life,
it wasn't very pretty.
You see, I was born and raised
in the slums of the city,
It was a one room shack that slept
ten other children besides me.
We hardly had enough food
or room to sleep.
It was hard times,
[Dm]Needed something to ease
[D]my troubled mind.
Listen! my father didn't know
the meaning of work,
He disrespected mama,
and treated us like dirt.
I left home, seekin' a job that
I never did find,
Depressed and downhearted
I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine,
[Dm]up h[D]ere on cloud nine.
Listen one more time I'm doin' [Dm]fine,
[D]up [Dm]here [D]on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me,
They say, "give yourself a chance son,
don't let life pass [G]you by".
But the [D]world of reality is a rat race
where [G]only the strongest survive,
[D]It's a dog eat dog world,
and that ain't no [G]lie.
Listen! it ain't [A]even safe no more
to walk the streets at night,
I'm doin' [Dm]fine, [D]on cloud nine.

[Verse 2]
Let me tell you about cloud nine.
[D]
[C]Cloud [D]nine, you can be what you
[C]wanna be
(cloud nine) you ain't
[D]got [C]no responsib[D]ility,
And ev'ry man,
ev'ry man [G]is [D]fre[G]e
[D](cloud nine) and you're a
million miles [G]from [D]reality.
I [G]wanna say I [D]love the [G]life [D]I live,
[G]And I'm gonna [D]live [G]the life I [D]love
up [G]here on cloud [D]nine.
I'm riding high
On cloud nine,
you're as free as a bird in [C]flight
[D](cloud nine) there's no diff'rence
between day and [C]night
[D](cloud nine) it's a world
of love and [C]harmony
[D](cloud nine) you're a million miles from

[Interlude 1]
reality.

[Verse 3]
Cloud [D]nine,
you can [G]be [D]what you wanna [G]be
[D]Cloud nine) you ain't
[G]got no re[D]sponsibility,
[G]And[D] ev'ry man,
[G]ev'ry [D]man is [G]free
[D](cloud nine) and you're a mil[G]lion miles [D]from
reality.
