Capo 5
[C]Pretty, pretty wilted daisies[F] a[-]ll[C] in a row
[C]on the top of Mou[G]nt Vernon in the dir[C]ty snow
[C]where the shadow sing[F]s of sunshine l[C]ike a dying crow
[C]pretty, pretty wilted[G] dasies all in a row[C]
[C]You're waving high into the n[F]ig[-]ht[C] time of a New York street
[C]Your newly painte[G]d yellow taxi has di[C]rty seats
[C]You're racing quick i[F]nto the nightcl[C]ub, so that you can see
[C]The same old sick and[G] sadly strangers always[C] seem to meet
[F]Cuz it's a long wa[G]y to and a sho[Am]rt ride from the top
[F]it's a rotten midd[G]le finger and [Am]the cancer will not stop
[F]it's a long way to[G] and a short r[Am]ide from the top
[F]your hand begins to slip or t[G]hey cut
either way you drop[C][F][-][C]
[C]Your small apartment is a mess but yo[F]u [-]do[C]n't seem to care
[C]the dirty dis[G]hes in the corner go wit[C]h the broken chair
[C]Higher grows t[F]he stack of bills that c[C]almly declare
[C]if you don't p[G]ay within a week then yo[C]ur shit is theirs
[C]You go to work Monday through Sund[F]ay[-], [C]open to close
[C]the seven dollar[G]s that they pay, son, is[C] good as a broken nose
[C]when no one's wat[F]chin' you pull your pant[C]s down and touch your toes
[C]your undercut n' [G]your exploited but that'[C]s how the country grows
[F]Cuz it's a long wa[G]y to and a sho[Am]rt ride to the top
[F]it's a rotten midd[G]le finger and [Am]the cancer will not stop
[F]it's a long way to[G] and a short r[Am]ide from the top
[F]your hand begins to slip or cut[G]
either way[Am] you take what they have stolen
[F]or you try to break what can't be broken
you can spea[C]k what you believe
[G]but every thought comes preconceived
you try [Am]to wash your hands of this
[F]clear your conscience and dismiss
[C]pretend our problems don't exist
[G]we're takin' aspirin for a broken wrist
[F]cuz it's a [G]long, long w[Am]ay to the top
[F]it's a rott[G]en middle f[Am]inger but the cancer will not stop
[F]it's a long, [G]long way [Am]to the top
[F]your hand begi[G]ns to slip or cut
either w[Am]ay [F]we[C][G]
