[Verse 1]
[D]Ginger Elvis [F#m]Presley looked [G]a fraction [D]sad
Roaming the whole [A]town from bin [G]to bin
Well [D]living on [F#m]the streets wasn't
[G]all that [D]bad
Where no-one seemed seemed
[A]to know that he [G]was King[D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]The sound of New York City
Isn't po[F#m]lice sirens wailing
[D]It's the sound of Wall Street [F#m]tills
Whilst [G]everyone is [D]failing

[Verse 3]
Sometimes [F#m]you feel expensive
Sometimes you feels so cheap
You can [G]roam the streets a [D]King
Whilst [G]everyone's [D]asleep
You can mime to any re[F#m]cord

But [G]God help the singer out of

[Verse 4]
[G][D]
A crippled Mohammad [F#m]Ali
Looked at [G]bad luck in the mir[D]ror
Bad luck looked [A]back at him and [G]sighed
He [D]looked a good foot smal[F#m]ler
[G]And a couple of stone thin[D]ner
And if anyone came to[A]ward him
He [G]would hide[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]The sound of North America
Isn't [F#m]Chris tians quietly praying
It's the [D]sound of shuffling [F#m]feet
[G]That don't know where
[D]they're going

[Verse 6]
Sometimes [F#m]you feel expensive
Sometimes you feels so cheap
You can [G]roam the streets [D]a King
Whilst [G]everyone's [D]asleep
You can fight with anybody
[A]With a glimmer[G] of a c[D]hance
But [G]God help the boxer with no
[A]hands
[D][F#m][G][D][A]

[Verse 7]
[G][D]
A homeless [F#m]Greta Garbo
Moves [G]across the [D]street
The moonlight shining [A]clearly
Through her [G]skirt
A [D]real life living le[F#m]gend
[G]That no-one wants wants [D]to meet
And that's when [A]being Garbo
Really [G]hurts[D]
[Bm]The lyrics of "New

[Verse 8]
York"
May have [F#m]Frank Sinatra singing
But the [D]rhythm and [F#m]the melody
Were [G]dead black [D]men swinging

[Verse 9]
[D]Sometimes [F#m]you feel expensive
Sometimes you feels so cheap
You can [G]roam the streets a [D]Queen
Whilst [G]everyone's [D]asleep
You can act with anybody

But [G]God help the actress
