[Verse 1]
G C
I've got her cane
G C
And Big Danny is wasted
G C
He said I'm the sweetest thing
G C
Oh that he's never tasted
G C
Mariposa's singing love songs
G C
All in her dark apartment
G C
Fourteen floors a'birthin
G C
And fourteen floors a'dying
[Chorus]
G C
Livin' in the city
G C
We're just livin' in the city
G C
Livin' in the city
D C G
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
[Verse 2]
G C
Oh I'll take you to the stairwell
G C
And I give you something I can offer
G C
You know the heart is not the hopeless
G C
The heart is a lonely hunter
G C
Hot long summer days
G C
We're just sneakin' by the river
C C
Oh, I'll lock my dreams away
G C
And I'll watch the city quiver
[Chorus]
G C
Livin' in the city
G C
We're just livin' in the city
G C
Livin' in the city
D C G
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard

[Verse 3]
G
Gypsy bit the dust
G
You know the shitty hat - it was poisoned
G
Now everybody wants
G
Just a taste of what we sold him
G C
Standing on the roof tops
G C
We're just yellin' till the morning
G C
All surrounded by the visions
G C
Of all who came before them
[Chorus]
G C
Livin' in the city
G C
We're just livin' in the city
G C
Livin' in the city
D C G
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
G C
Livin' in the city
G C
We're just livin' in the city
G C
Livin' in the city
D C G
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
D C G
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
