Crush In The Ghetto

C                     Cmaj7
I'm flirting with the birds
      C                  Cmaj7
I'm talking to the weeds
 Am                         Am7      G
 Look what you've done to me

     Fmaj7           G                              C
I'm still dressed up from the night before
Fmaj7                      C                G
Silken hose and an old Parisian coat
         Fmaj7        G                   C                     Fmaj7
And I feel like a Queen at the bus stop on the street
Am                         Am7      G
Look what you've done to me

        Fmaj7      G                     Cmaj7/E
It's a beautiful morning in the ghetto
Fmaj7              C      G     G7
Finer than the day before
      Am         G                          C                 Fmaj7
The ants are crawling over my pants as if to say
Am                              Am7    G   G7
They know where the honey is

There's really old roses blooming in the ghetto
Birds of paradise are taller than me
The weeds grow high - the birds flicker by
Children are walking to school

         Am              G         Cmaj7/E
In the midst of all this profusion
      Fmaj7               C                   G     G7
The bus pulls up to take me back home
      Fmaj7        C                  Fmaj7
The bus driver looks like an African prince
      Am              Am7               G     G7
The babies have tears in their eyes

         Fmaj7        G                    C             Fmaj7
And I feel like a Queen on this sunny city bus
Am                         Am7      G
Look what you've done to me...
