Intro
[F] [Am/E] [Am/G] [Am] [F] [F/C] [C] [G]
Verse
I feel for [Am]you, you little [F]horror
Safe [Dm]at your mother's [G]breast
No [F]lucky [C]break for [F]you around the [G]corner
'Cause your [Am]father is a [F]bully
And he [Dm]thinks that you're a [G]pest
And your [Bb]sister she's no [C/G]better than a [Am]whore.
Chorus
[Dm]Life [Am]seems so [F]rosy in the [G]cradle,
But I'll [Am]be a [G]friend I'll [F]tell you what's in [G]store
There's [Dm]nothing [Am]at the [F]end of the [G]rainbow.
There's [Am]nothing [G]to grow [F]up for [G]anymore
[Am]Tycoons and barrow boys [F]will rob you
And [Dm]throw you on the [G]side
And [F]all [C]because they love[F] themselves[G] sincerely
And the[Am] man holds a [F]bread knife
Up to [Dm]you throat it's [G]four feet wide
And he's [Bb]anxious just to [C/G]show you what it's [Am]for.
[Dm]Your [Am]mother works [F]so hard to make [G]you happy
But [Am]take a look[G] outside [F]your [G]nursery door
[Dm]There's nothing [Am]at the [F]end of the [G]rainbow.
[Am]There's nothing [G]to grow[F] up for [G]anymore
All[Am] the sad and [F]empty faces
That [Dm]pass you in[G] the street
All [F][C]running in their [F]sleep, all in [G]a dream
[Am]Every loving [F]handshake
Is [Dm]just another [G]man to beat
How your [Bb]heart aches just to [C/G]cut him to the [Am]core
[Dm]Life [Am]seems so rosy[F] in the [G]cradle
But [Am]I'll be a [G]friend I'll tell[F] you what's [G]in store
[Dm]There's nothing [Am]at the [F]end of the [G]rainbow.
[Am]There's nothing [G]to grow[F] up for [G]anymore
