Dear Landlord

C                                 
Dear Landlord, please don't put a 
             E7
price on my soul,
Am            Am/G  F           
My burden is heavy, my dreams 
     Em      Dm
are beyond control.
F                             F7
When that steamboat whistle blows,
Bb
I'm gonna give you all I got to 
give,
C             Dm7    C        C7
And I do hope you receive it well,
          F         Gm            
Depending on the way you feel that
      Dm     F G
 you live.

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
C                              
Dear Landlord, please heed these 
                 E7
words that I speak,
Am                      Am/G F  
I know you've suffered much, but
                 Em     Dm
 in this you are not so unique.
F                                 
All of us at times we might work 
    F7
too hard
Bb
To have it too fast and too much,
C               Dm7              
And anyone can fill his life up 
    C             C7
with things he can see
F      Gm            Dm    F G
But he just cannot touch.

[Verse 3]
C                                 
Dear Landlord, please don't 
     E7
dismiss my case,
Am                Am/G  F       
I'm not about to argue, I'm not 
                 Em        Dm
about to move to no other place.
F                                 
Now each of us has his own special
  F7
 gift,
Bb
And you know this was meant to be 
true,
C          Dm7         C       C7
And if you don't underestimate me,
F            Gm       Dm   F G
I won't underestimate you.
