Em                                  D                     
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
          Em                        B7
With political connections He spreads his wealth around. He Was
A7
Born into society, a banker's only child,
       Em   D       G         A     B7
He had everything a man could want: Money , Praise , and style.


Em                                  D                        
The papers print his picture almost everyplace he goes:
         Em                B7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at The  shows
        A7
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
   Em      D       G        A    B
He Really  must be happy         with everything he's got.

John Denver. 

Em                              D      
He Really gave to The  charity, had the common touch,
              Em                              B7
And they were Thankful for his patronage.. So They   thank You very much,
      A7
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
 Em      D         G                                                      Em
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."
