[Em]Two, three, [D]four

[Interlude 1]

[Em][G]
[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4]

[Verse 2]
Well, I hate [D]this [Dsus4]town, hate this place
There [D]ain't nothin' [Dsus4]to do
Except go [Em]down to the bar each night
And drink 'til two
I hate [G]my job, and I'm always
in a [D]bad [Dsus4]mood[D]
I fear I'm [Em]coming down with a [G]case of
the tall [D]city blues
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
Well, [Dsus4]I'm a CPA[D], I got[Dsus4]
[D]my [Dsus4]BBA from TTU
I [Em]crunch numbers in a high- rise
Counting barrels of crude
Me and my [G]buddy's bitch
in the break room
'Cause our boss went golfing this
[D]afternoon[Dsus4][D]
And left us [Em]to fend for ou[G]rselves
in the tall [D]city blues
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Tall city dre[D]amin' is the dif
[G]ference in [D]believin'
And makin' [G]a livin' or lovin'
[Em]what you d[D]o[Dsus4]
[G]Raisin' a fam[D]ily among strangers
[G]and[D] wildcatters
Who were [G]brought here
[D]by the [Em]boon
We'll all be strangers [G]soon with tall city
[D]blues
[Dsus4][G][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 5]
This one- bedroom apartment is
taking all my [Dsus4]dough
[Em]Fifteen hundred a month for Venetian
blinds and stained concrete floors
I lay [G]back in my king- sized bed
Each night where I sleep alone
[D][Dsus4][D]
Dreaming about my next move,
[Em]out [G]of these tall city blu[D]es
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Tall city dre[D]amin' is the
dif[G]ference in [D]believing
And making [G]living or loving
[Em]what you d[D]o[Dsus4]
[G]Raising a fam[D]ily among strangers
[G]and wildcatters
[D]Who were [G]brought here
[D]by the [Em]boon
We'll all be strangers [G]soon with tall [D]city
[Dsus4]blues

[Interlude 2]
[Em][G][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Got laid off this morning,
did you not hear the news?
We took [Em]too much out of the ground
than we knew what to do
[G]Tonight, no one gives a damn whether your
collar's white [D]or [Dsus4]blue[D]
We'll drain our [Em]glasses by
the masses and make [G]a toast
To the tall [D]city [Dsus4]blues[D]
Let's drain our [Em]glasses by
the masses and make [G]a toast
To the tall [D]city blues
[Dsus4](blues) o[D]hh

[Verse 8]
[G]Tall city dre[D]aming is the dif
[G]ference in [D]believing
And making [G]living or [Em]loving
what [D]you [Dsus4]do[D][G]
Raising a [D]family among strangers
[G]and[D] wildcatters
Who were [G]brought here by
[D]the boo[Em]n
We'll all be strangers [G]soon
with tall [D]city blues
[Em]We'll all be strangers soon
[G]with tall cit[D]y blues
