[Verse 1]
They [D5]say that Richard Cory owns one h[C5]alf of this whole town
With po[D5]litical connections to sp[A5]read his wealth around
[G5]Born into society a banker's only child
He had [D5]everyth[C5]ing a ma[F5]n could want; po[A5]wer, grace and style
[Cborus 1]
[F5]But I work in his [D5]factory
And I [G5]curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I [F5]wish that I could [D5]be
[G5]

[Verse 2]
The p[D5]apers print his picture almost e[C5]verywhere he goes
Richard[D5] Cory at the opera, Richard C[A5]ory at a show
And the r[G5]umours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
Oh, he s[D5]urely m[C5]ust be h[F5]appy with e[A5]verything he's got
[Cborus 2]
[F5]But I work in his [D5]factory
And I c[G5]urse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I [F5]wish that I could [D5]be

[Verse 3]
He f[D5]reely gave to charities, he [C5]had the common touch
And they were g[D5]rateful for his patronage, and they tha[A5]nked him very much
So my [G5]mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
[D5]Richard C[C5]ory went h[F5]ome last night and put a [D5]bullet through his head
[Cborus 3]
[F5]But I work in his [D5]factory
And I c[G5]urse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, oh I [F5]wish that I could [D5]be
Oh I [G5]wish that I could [A5]be - Richard [D5]Cory
