Verse 1
B
Childhood part of my life,
it wasn't very pretty.
You see, I was born and raised
in the slums of the city,
It was a one room shack that slept
ten other children besides me.
We hardly had enough food
or room to sleep.
It was hard times,
Bm
Needed something to ease
Listen! my father didn't know
the meaning of work,
He disrespected mama,
and treated us like dirt.
I left home, seekin' a job that
I never did find,
Depressed and downhearted
I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine,
Bm
B
up here on cloud nine.
Bm
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine,
B
Bm
B
up here on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me,
They say, "give yourself a chance son,
E
don't let life pass you by".
B
But the world of reality is a rat race
E
where only the strongest survive,
B
It's a dog eat dog world,
F#
Listen! it ain't even safe no more
to walk the streets at night,
Bm
B
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine.
