G5
Born in a slum in Rome
C5
Born in filth and rags
D5
You climb the weary road of youth
G5
Alone and often sad


G5
You climb the hills your feet get sore
C5
And then your heart goes numb
D5
And as you reach your teenage years
G5
A whore you do become


C5
And as I see you
D5                 G5
My eyes fill with tears
C5
It?s the same old story
D5                      G5
It?s been going on for years


G5  C5
Well now all around you men do fall
D5
But you know don?t you know
G5
That you?re just lust?s pawn


G5
The poverty you felt in youth
C5
Well it still plays a part
D5
The poverty once in your purse
G5
Well now it?s in your heart


C5
And as I see you
D5                 G5
My eyes fill with tears
C5
It?s the same old story
D5                      G5
It?s been going on for years


G5
So now the money starts to flow
C5
Well how sweet for a short time
D5
But then the sweetness does turn sour
G5
It?s another weary time


C5
And as I see you
D5                 G5
My eyes fill with tears
C5
It?s the same old story
D5                      G5
It?s been going on for years
