F#m A
Well he used to be a tailor
F#m A
Sew those suits so fine
E
And he never heard of failure
F#m E
And he never tasted wine
F#m A
And he used to be a leader
F#m A
When he had someone to lead
E
And he used to be a father
F#m E
When he had some mouths to feed
Well he used to be a tailor
F#m A
Sew those suits so fine
E
And he never heard of failure
F#m E
And he never tasted wine
F#m A
And he used to be a leader
F#m A
When he had someone to lead
E
And he used to be a father
F#m E
When he had some mouths to feed
Chorus:
D A
And they say it never rains in LA county
E7 D
But it gets cold enough to wish you had a few
D
And he laughs tonight and says
E F#m
“I finally found me a room with a view
E F#m
How about you”
F#m A
He was living in a castle
F#m A
That he built with his own hands
E
Out of newspaper and cardboard
F#m E
He was living off the land –
F#m E
He was living off the land –
F#m
He was living off the land.
Chorus:
D A
And they say it never rains in LA county
E7 D
But it gets cold enough to wish you had a few
D
And he laughs tonight and says
E F#m
“I finally found me a room with a view
E F#m
How about you”
