[Intro 1]

[Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
Oh [Dm]ho, ho ho [D]ho,
ooh, [Dm]hoo[D]
[Dm]Childhood [D]part of my life,
it wasn't very pretty
You see, I was born and raised
in the slums of the [Dm]city
[D]It was a one room shack that slept
ten other [A]children be[D]sides [Dm]me
[D]We hardly had enough
food or room to [Dm]sleep
It was hard times
Needed [D]something to ease my
troubled mind
Listen, my father didn't know
the meaning of [Dm]work
[D]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' [Dm]fine, up [D]here on cloud nine
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine,
[Dm]up here [D]on cloud nine
Folks down there tell me
They say, give yourself a chance son,
don't let life pass you [G]by
But the [D]world of real[Dm]ity is a rat [D]race
where [G]only the strongest survive
It's a [D]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, on [D]cloud nine
Let me tell you about cloud nine

[Verse 2]
Cloud [D]nine, you can be what you
wanna [G]be[D]
(Cloud nine) you ain't
got [A]no responsib[D]ility
[G]And[D] every man, eve[G]ry man is fre[C]e
[D](Cloud nine) and you're a millio[G]n
miles [D]from [Dm]reality[D][Dm][G][D][Dm][D]
I [G]wanna say I [Dm]love the life I [D]live
And I'm [G]gonna [Dm]live the life [D]I
love up [G]here on [D]cloud nine
I, I, I, I, [Dm]I, I[D] I'm riding hi[A]gh[D][Dm]
[D]On cloud nine, you're as fre[G]e as a
bird in [A]flight[D]
(Cloud nine) there's no difference [G]between
[A]day[G] and nig[D]ht
(Cloud nine) it's a [G]world [A]of love and
[G]harmony[C][D]
(Cloud nine) you're a mil[G]lion miles

[Interlude 1]
from reality
[G][D][Dm][D][Dm]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Cloud [G]nine,
[D]you can [G]be what you [D]wanna [G]be
Cloud [D]nine you ain't [G]got
no re[D]sponsibil[G]ity
Cloud [D]nine, and every [G]man in this
[D]world [G]is free
(Cloud nine) and [D]you're
a [G]million miles [D]from reality
[G](Cloud nine) you can be what
you [D]wanna [G]be
