[Fm7] [Bbm7] [Fm7] [Bbm7]
[Verse 1]
I play the [Fm7] street life, because there's [Bbm7] no place I can go
[Cm7] Street life, Its the [Fm7] only life I know.
[Fm7] Street Life, and there's a [Bbm7] thousand cards to play,
[Cm7] Steet Life, until you [Fm7] play your life away.
[Chorus-quick changes]
You [Bbm7] let the people [Db/Eb-x66666] see,
just who you [Cm7] wanna be, [F7#9-13x214]
And [Bbm7] every night you [Db/Eb-x66666] shine, just
[Abmaj7] like a superstar.
The [Abm7] type of life that's [B/Db-x44444] played, a
[F#maj7] temptin' mas[Gm7-5-343363] querade
You [Bbm7] dress you walk you [Db/Eb-x66666] talk, You're
[Abmaj7] who you think you are [C7#5#9-hendrix-x32344]
[Verse 2]
[Fm7] Street life, You can [Bbm7] run away from time,
[Cm7] Street life, For a [Fm7] nickel, or a dime,
[Fm7] Street life, But you [Bbm7] better not get old,
[Cm7] Street life, Or you're [Fm7] gonna feel the cold.
[Chorus]
There's [Bbm7] always love for [Db/Eb] sale a
[Cm7] grown-up fairy [F7#9] tale
Prince [Bbm7] Charming always [Db/Eb] smiles
behind [Abmaj7] a silver spoon
And [Abm7] if you keep it young [B/Db]
your [F#maj7] song is always [Gm7-5] sung
Your [Bbm7] love will pay your way [Db/Eb]
beneath [Abmaj7] 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]
