[Verse]
A                     EOld Joe Riley owned a fishin’ shack
         F#m                     DWith the ocean out front and the bay out back
   A                       EHe had a little boat and a fisherman’s tan
        F#m                       DWhen he wasn’t out fishin’ he was sittin’ in the sand

[Chorus]
         E                      AThen the big boys came and they offered him millions
   D                       A       ETo put up some condos or a swank hotel
E                       F#mOld Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
D                           A          EI could use the money but I just can’t sell
  A                       DA low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
  E                       AA low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell come on

        A                           EHe said I’ve seen the cities eatin’ up small towns
          F#m                             DWhere you can’t smell the breeze and it’s cement ground
    A                           EYou pay to park your car but it ain’t safe to walk
       F#m                         DNobody looks you in the eye, don’t speak, don’t talk

[Chorus]
