Just like my mamma said, Ray there's a way 
D                                     D#dim   Em 
but you gotta get yourself out of this ghetto today

you might stumble, you could fumble 
            Am   Em             Am Em 
when you're down low don't feel under 
         G   Am7          G    Am7 
then the thunder and the lightening 
          G      Am7              G     C 
aren't so frightening when you're coked out 
       Am7 Em        Am7 Em 
The big city aint so pretty 
            Am7 Em         Am7 Em 
when you're down and nitty gritty
