Committed To Parkview


A E
There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor
A
and he thinks he's Hank Williams, hear him singing through the door.
D A
There's a girl in 202 who stops by to visit me
B E

and she talks about her songs and the star that she should be.
A D
There's a lot of real fine talent, staying in or passing through
A D A D A
and for one thing or another, they're committed to Parkview.

A E
There's a girl in 207 coming down on Thorazine
A
and a superstars ex-drummer, trying to kick Benzedrine.
D A
There's a real fine country singer, who has tried and tried and tried.
B E
They just bought him in this morning, an attempted suicide.
A D
There are those that never made it, those that did and now are through.
A D A D A
Some came of their own good choosing, some committed to Parkview.

A E
There's a girl who cries above me, loud enough to wake the dead.
A
They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head.
D A
There's a boy just down below me who's the son of some well known.
B E
He was brought in by his mother cause his daddy's always gone.
A D
There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to do's.
A D A D A
Who have withdrawn from the rat-race and committed to Parkview.

A E
They wake me 'bout 6.30, just before the morning meal.
A
While they're taking my blood pressure, they ask us how we feel.
D A
And I always say fantastic but there ain't nothing wrong with me.
B E
Then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep.
A D
And my days are kind of foggy and my nights are dreamy too.
A D A D A
But they're taking good care of me while committed to Parkview.


Enjoy!
