They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
          Em                        B
With political connections He spreads his wealth around. He Was
A
Born into society, a banker's only child,
               Em   D         G            A      B
He had everything a man could want: Money , Praise , and style.

Em                                            D                           Dsus
The papers print his picture almost everyplace he goes:
               Em                            B
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at The  shows
               A
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
             Em     D             G            A       B
Oh, he Really  must be happy         with everything he's got.


[CHORUS]

G                          Em             Am               Em             Am       Em
But I work in his factory    And I curse the life I'm living     And I curse my poverty
          Am                     Em         Am                Em            Am                B

Em                                          D                               Dsus
He Really gave to The  charity, he had the common touch,
                           Em                                          B
And they were Thankful for his patronage.. So They   thank You very much,
            A
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
    Em     D                G                                                Em
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."



[CHORUS]

G                          Em             Am               Em             Am       Em
But I work in his factory    And I curse the life I'm living     And I curse my poverty
          Am                     Em         Am                Em            Am                B
And I wish that I could be,              I wish that I could be,          Oh , I wish that I could be
 Em
