E                        D       
People put me down cause that's

the side of town I was born in.
A                             D
I love her, she loves me, but I 
don't fit in her society..
E                      D         
Lord have mercy on the boy from

A                                 
Every night I watch the lights 
      D               A
from the house up on the hill.
A                         D      
I love a little girl that lives 
           C#             F#m
up there, I guess I always will.
    D                  E    
But I don't dare knock on her 
            D                E
door..her daddy is my boss man.
   D                 E            
So I'll just have to be content, 
  D                   E
to see her when ever I can.
