A                 D         A
I walked to New York and back from LA
A                  D      A
I lived on a mountain and once by the bay
A                       D    A
I bought an apartment and I've slept in the hay
            E
but there's no place that's softer than...


    A                 D    A
The living today is just getting so bad
A                           D                A
there's a look on your face and it says you've been had
A                           D         A
you can take all my money but just don't make me mad
              E
cause there's nobody meaner than...

A            D      A
I pray to Buddha to Allah and Jim
A              D                A
I turned to Jesus and stayed there withhim
A            D           A
I barely live but I learned how to swim
            E
now there's nobody cleaner than me or than him.
