Life In The City

The Mother Hips


Tom: D

D           G         Eb     D
Life in the city's expensive today

  D               G             Eb           D           A
I know cuz that's where my girl went when my girl went away

     G              A               D        D/C#   Bb
She calls me up now just to calm me down, to calm me down

              G         D
But it's only sound, oh


D              G             Eb          D
Boys will come visit there's no room for doubt

  D           G            Eb           D              A
I try to stay calm but sometimes I just can't help but shout

    G                A                D       D/C#     Bb
She runs me down and then she runs to him she says, Aw Tim

            G       
She says Aw Tim 

[A / / /  A / / /]


A                          G         D
How can they see more than me in her eyes

      Em                 C                 A
I realize that she's the prize and I'm the fool

A                          G           D
How can they think I would sink out of sight

       Em            Em/G     C   A
Like a bright summer moon,    


Bright summer moon


[D / / /  C / / /  D / / /]

Then the cool little riff:

A|---1-3-1-3---------------|
E|-----------3-2~~~~-------|



D             G             Eb         D
Curves in the road make the driving go slow

     D               G              Eb          D        A
When curves are like hers things go quickly and I oughta know

    G               A                 D       D/C#     Bb
She turns me on and then she turns me down, I feel the clown

              G
But it's only sound


A                          G         D
How can they see more than me in her eyes

     Em                  C                 A
I realize that she's the ride and I'm the  fool

A                          G           D
How can they think I would sink out of sight

       Em             Em/G   C   A
Like a bright summer moon, 

               D    C   D*
