Living For The City Chords by Stevie Wonder

[Intro]

[Verse]
Gb Gbm7 Gb7                                   
■  ■    A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
                   Gbm7                      
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
Gb7                  Gbm7     Gb7      
His parents give him love and affection
                   Gbm7                         
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
B                  Db7                 Gb7  Gbm7
Living just enough just enough for the city ■   
Gb7        Gbm7                         Gb7  
His father works some days for fourteen hours
                   Gbm7                 
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
Gb7                Gbm7                 Gb7 
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
                           Gbm7               
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
B                  Db7                 Gb7  Gbm7
Living just enough just enough for the city yeah


[Chorus]
Gb7 D C A G Gb Gb7

[Verse]
                       Gbm7             Gb7   
His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
                       Gbm7                    
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
Gb7                     Gbm7                Gb7
To walk to school she's got to get up early ■  
                        Gbm7                
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
       B           Db7                 Gb7 
Living just enough just enough for the city
                         Gb7                     
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
                        Gbm7          B7      
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
Gb7                                    
To find a job is like a haystack needle
                           Gbm7                    
'cause where he lives they don't use colored people
            B      Db   Db7            Gb7 
Living just enough just enough for the city

B7     Gb7                     
Living just enough for the city
                              B7       Gb7   
His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty
   Gb7                                                 
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
Gb7                                             
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution


[Chorus]
   Gbm7  Gb7                                   
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
                               Gb                   Gbm7     
Living just enough just enough ■  for the city yeah yeah yeah

[Verse]
Gb      Gb7                                         
■  This place is cruel no where could be much colder
            Gb7                               
If we don't change the world will soon be over
                        Gb7                
Living just enough just enough for the city
