-----------------------.................

*from 'Hotter Than July' (1980)*


Intro:

D9  G (x8)

Verse 1:

(D9                 G)       D9            G
 You just could not know how long we tried,
D9               G              D9     G
 To see how this building looks inside.
D9         G          D9         G
 This must be a lucky day for me,
D9           G                   D9       G
 Because the sign says there's a vacancy.

Bridge 1:

        G                         F       E7
Look, I know you came a long way, but you made it just too late;
      G                      G/A  D
So we had to give it to some-body else.
        G                           F         E7
Well, I talked to you on the phone, less than fifteen minutes ago;
        F7           G7     A7
And you told me that it was cool.

Verse 2:

                 D9        G
I graduated from Harvard U.
D9         G           D9        G
 My job is paying good money too.
D9          G           D9     G
 And if you check on my resume;
D9           G               D9         G
 You'll find they all wanted me to stay.

Bridge 2:

        G                        F  E7
Well, I can't take the time out, to check your credit card,
             G                G/A     D
'Cos the com-puter just broke down to-day.
           G                      F      E7
Well, I'll stop by here tomorrow, to com-plete our interview,
      F7               G7    A7
But I know what you're gonna say. I know what your bottom line is;

Chorus 1:

    D9             G                    D9           G
You might have the cash, but you cannot cash in your face;
                  D9             G, D9  G
We don't want you living in here.
    D9             G                    D9           G
You might have the cash, but you cannot cash in your face;
                  D9             G, D9  G
We don't want you living in here.

Break:

G7                G/A  D7  G  D9
 Too-oo, too-oo...too  bad.
G7               G/A D7   G
 Too-oo, too-oo..too sad.

Interlude:

D9  G, D9  G (x2)

Verse 3:

                            D9       G
Our first child is due here any day;
D9                G               D9            G
 That's why we're desperate for a place to stay.
D9      G            D9           G
 The lo-cation is so perfect, too,
D9         G              D9         G
 So please try to do what you can do.

Bridge 3:

      G                          F  E7
Well, in this apartment complex, no children are allowed;
           G                                      G/A    D
And if you told me that, I could have saved you a-lot of time.

        G                                      F   E7
Well, I thought the Bill was passed, that said you could not discriminate?
      F7           G7          A7
But I know some ex-cuse you'll find. Because your bottom line is;

Chorus 2:

    D9             G                    D9           G
You might have the cash, but you cannot cash in your face;
                  D9             G, D9  G
We don't want you living in here.
         D9             G                    D9           G
Say, you might have the cash, but you cannot cash in your face;
                  D9             G, D9  G
We don't want you living in here.

Coda:

         D9               G      D9  G
Aye, you might be a great doctor,
    D9               G      D9  G
You might be a great lawyer.
    D9                G          D9   G
You might possess the key to the city,
   D9           G      D9  G
Or maybe a poli-tician.

    D9             G
You might have the cash,
    G          D9           G
But you cannot cash in your face;
                  D9             G, D9  G
We don't want you living in here.

         D9             G
Say; you might have the cash,
    G          D9           G
But you cannot cash in your face;
                  D9             G, D9  G
We don't want you living in here.
