We've Gotta Get Out of This Place

The Animals

C Bb2  C Bb2 (x2)
     C           Bb2        C               Bb2
        In this dirty old part of the city
        Where the sun refuse to shine
        People tell me there ain't no use in trying
                                                                              C Bb2

        Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
        And one thing I know is true
        You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

        Watch my daddy in bed and tired
        Watch his hair been turning gray
        He's been working and slaving his life away, oh yes I know

                  C Bb2 C                Bb2            (C)
                    (Yeah) He's been working so hard
                    (Yeah) I've been working, too, babe
                    (Yeah) Every night and day (Yeah)
                     Bb2   C        Bb2
                     Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

                                F                     Bb2           C
                                  We gotta get out of this place
                                F                                     G     C
                                  If it's the last thing we ever do
                                F                     Bb2           C

                                             Dm
                                  Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you
                                                                                   F2 Eb2 Bb C (x2)
