[Em7] [Am7] [Em7] [Am7]
[Verse 1]
I play the [Em7] street life, because there's [Am7] no place I can go
[Bm7] Street life, Its the [Em7] only life I know.
[Em7] Street Life, and there's a [Am7] thousand cards to play,
[Bm7] Steet Life, until you [Em7] play your life away.
[Chorus-quick changes]
You [Am7] let the people [C/D-x5555x] see,
just who you [Bm7] wanna be, [E7#9-020103]
And [Am7] every night you [C/D-x5555x] shine, just
[Gmaj7] like a superstar.
The [Gm7] type of life that's [Bb/C-x3333x] played, a
[Fmaj7] temptin' mas[F#m7-5-232252] querade
You [Am7] dress you walk you [C/D-x5555x] talk, You're
[Gmaj7] who you think you are [B7#5#9-hendrix-x21233]
[Verse 2]
[Em7] Street life, You can [Am7] run away from time,
[Bm7] Street life, For a [Em7] nickel, or a dime,
[Em7] Street life, But you [Am7] better not get old,
[Bm7] Street life, Or you're [Em7] gonna feel the cold.
[Chorus]
There's [Am7] always love for [C/D] sale a
[Bm7] grown-up fairy [E7#9] tale
Prince [Am7] Charming always [C/D] smiles
behind [Gmaj7] a silver spoon
And [Gm7] if you keep it young [Bb/C]
your [Fmaj7] song is always [Gm7-5] sung
Your [Am7] love will pay your way [C/D]
beneath [Gmaj7] the silver moon
[Chorus - To play the horn part at end of B7 play 10 and 12 on B string, then 6 and 8 on E string for F]
