he was sittin� in the lounge of the empire hotel
he was drinkin� for diversion, he was thinkin� for himself
a little money ridin� on the maple leafs
along comes this lady in sleeves
she says
F
let me sit down, you know,
C
drinkin� alone�s a shame,
it�s a shame, it�s a cryin� shame
G F C
look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game
F
hey, honey, you got lots of cash,
bring us �round a bottle and we�ll have some laughs
Bb G C
gin�s what i�m drinkin�; i was raised on robbery
she says,
F C
i�m a pretty good cook, sittin� on my groceries
G F C
come up to my kitchen, i�ll show you my best recipes
F
i try and i try, but i can�t save a cent
i�m up after midnight cookin� tryin� to make my rent
Bb G C
i�m rough but I�m pleasin�; i was raised on robbery
G-F-C-G-C
F
we had a little money once,
C
they were pushin� through a four lane highway
G
government gave us three thousand dollars,
F C
you shoulda seen it fly away
F
first he bought a fifty-seven Biscayne, he put it in the ditch
he drunk up all the rest, that son of a bitch
Bb G C
his blood�s bad whiskey; i was raised on robbery
F
you know you ain�t bad lookin�,
C
i like the way you hold your drinks
G
come home with me honey,
F C
i ain�t askin� for no full-length mink
F
hey, where you goin�?
don�t go yet, your glass ain�t empty and we just met
Bb
you�re mean when you�re loaded;
G C
i was raised on robbery
G-F-C-G
