[Verse 1]
They [Am]say that Richard Cory
Owns one [G]half of this whole town
With po[Am]litical connections
To [E]spread his wealth around
[D]Born into society, a banker's only child
He had [Am]everyth[G]ing a [C]man could want
[E]Power, grace, and style

[Chorus 1]
[C]But I work in his[Am] factory
And I [D]curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Oh, I [C]wish that I could [Am]be
Oh, I [D]wish that I could be
Richard [Am]Cory
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
The [Am]papers print his picture
Almost [G]everywhere he goes
Richard [Am]Cory at the opera
Richard [E]Cory at a show
And the [D]rumors of his parties
And the orgies on his yacht
Oh, he [Am]surely [G]must be [C]happy
With [E]everything he's got

[Chorus 2]
[C]But I, I work in his[Am] factory
And I [D]curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Oh, I [C]wish that I could [Am]be
Oh, I [D]wish that I could be
Richard [Am]Cory
[Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
He [Am]freely gave to charity
He [G]had the common touch
And they were [Am]grateful for his patronage
And they [E]thanked him very much
So my [D]mind was filled with wonder
When the evening headlines read
[Am]"Richard [G]Cory went [C]home last night
And put a [Am]bullet through his head"

[Chorus 3]
But [C]I, I work in [Am]his factory
And I [D]curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Oh, I [C]wish that I could [Am]be
Oh, I [D]wish that I could [E]be
