Intro :A7
AmThey say that Richard Cory owns one half Gof this whole town
With Ampolitical connections to spread his E7wealth around
DBorn into society a banker's only child
He had AmeveryGthing aC man could want; poweE7r, grace and style
CBut I -- work in hisAm factory
And i Dcurse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And i wish that I could be, Coh I wish that I couldAm be
Oh I Dwish that i coulD7d be - RichaAmrd Cory
The pAmapers print his picture almost everyGwhere he goes
Richard CAmory at the opera, RichardE7 Cory at a show
And the rDumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
Oh, he sAmurely Gmust beC happy witE7h everything he's got
CBut I -- work in hisAm factory
And I Dcurse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And i wish that I could be, Coh I wish that I couldAm be
Oh I Dwish that i coulD7d be - RichaAmrd Cory
He fAmreely gave to charities, heG had the common touch
And they were gAmrateful for his patronage, and theyE7 thanked him very much
So my Dmind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
AmRichardG Cory wenCt home last night and putAm a bullet through his head
CBut I -- work in hisAm factory
And i Dcurse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And i wish that I could be, Coh I wish that I couldAm be
Oh I Dwish that i coulE7d be RicharAmd Cory
