G                   D 
I live down in Shantytown 
                         G 
Where chicken's twenty cents a pound 
                          D 
And if you live on such solid ground 
 D                         G 
Whatcha doin' down in Shantytown? 
G                   D                 G 
Well, I'm back on your side of the tracks 
       D                           G7 
Have come back for me to take you back? 
          C                           G 
Back to your high society to your cocktails and your teas 
 D                                                           G 
I'll look up but don't look down 'cause we got pride in Shantytown 
    G              D 
I live down in Shantytown 
                         G 
Where chicken's twenty cents a pound 
                          D 
And if you live on such solid ground 
 D                         G 
Whatcha doin' down in Shantytown? 
G                            D                 G 
Behind the walls of your shackled heart beats pure 
           D                    G7 
While the rich have a love to endure 
               C                          G 
Well, is the gold in your crown turning black? 
             D                                                G 
Is there something here in Shantytown that keeps you coming back? 
    G                D 
I live down in Shantytown 
                         G 
Where chicken's twenty cents a pound 
                          D 
And if you live on such solid ground 
                         G 
Whatcha doin' down in Shantytown? 
 D                        G 
Whatcha doin' down in Shantytow
