1     4  4 4  4*  4*  
It's on-ly a shan-ty 
4* -5    4  -3  -2*
in old Shan-ty Town 
-1   3    3  3  3*  3*
the roof is so slan-ty 
3*   -3  3   -2  -1    
it touch-es the ground.
-1 -1*  2   4    -4   -3*
But my tum-bled down shack 
-1 2  -2   -5   4*    4
by an old rail-road track, 
-3   3* 3   -3   -3*   -4   6
like a mil-lion-aire's man-sion 
-3* -5  -3*  3  2
is call-ing me back.

1    4   4  4  4*  4* 4* -5  4 -3 -2*
I'd give up a pal-ace if I were a king. 
-1     3   3   3  3*  3*
It's more than a pal-ace, 
3*   -3  3  -2  -1
it's my ev-‘ry-thing.
-1      2   -2   2    -2   3
There's a queen wait-ing there 
-2   3 -3   4  6  -5
with a sil-ver-y crown 
1*-1  -3*-3* -4  4   4   -3  -2
in a shan-ty in old Shan-ty Town.
