Raised On Robbery Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]He was sitting in the lounge
of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says [F]let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's [C]a shame
(It's a shame it's a crying [Gm]shame)
Look at those jokers
[F]Glued to that damn hockey [C]game[F]
Hey honey-you've got got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we'll have some laughs
[Bb]Gin's what I'm drinking
I was [G]raised on [C]robbery

[Verse 2]
I'm a [F]pretty good cook
Sitting on my gro[C]ceries
Come [Gm]up to m[G]y kitchen
I'll [F]show you my best [C]re cipe
I [F]try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight, cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm [Bb]rough but I'm pleasin'
I was [Gm]raised [G]on [C]robbery

[Verse 3]
We [F]had a little money once
They were pushing through
a four lane [C]highway
Government gave us [Gm]three
[G]thousand dollars
You [F]should have seen it fly [C]away
First he bought [F]a '57 Biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a bitch
His [Bb]blood's bad whiskey
[Am]I was ra[G]ised on rob
[C]bery

[Verse 4]
You know [F]you ain't bad looking
I like the way you hold your [C]drinks
Come [Gm]home with [G]me, honey
I ain't [F]asking for no full length [C]mink
[F]Hey, where you going
Don't go yet
Your glass ain't empty
and we just met
You're [Bb]mean when your loaded
I was [G]raised on [C]robbery
