(Intro: A  G  F#m  D

        A  G  F#m  D) 


      A      
In my high rise shoes I can walk tall 

      G               D  
I'm a concrete jungle boy 

      A
I can write my name all over a wall 

      G               D 
I'm a concrete jungle boy 

    Bm
The teacher's a fool so I don't go to school 

  D                A          D     
I just hang around playin' it cool 



(Instr*:  A  G  F#m  D)


A      
Snappin' my fingers, looking for fun 

      G               D
I'm a concrete jungle boy 

A 
Wearin' my shirt with the buttons undone 

      G               D   
I'm a concrete jungle boy 

    Bm
The music is loud and I like it a lot 

  D                      A             D  
I got what it takes so I take what its got

  A
I got time to kill and money to make 

      G               D 
I'm a concrete jungle boy 

  A
I don't do for real what I can fake 

      G               D
I'm a concrete jungle boy 

  Bm 
I look at the world and I want my share 

    D                        A       C   
But though I keep moving I'm going nowhere

   A                                G  D 
If I was a sinner, I would confess 

        A                                     G  D 
But I'm just a beginner, I couldn't care less 

Bm 
All that I am is standing right here 

D                      A       D 
Between my legs and between my ears 


A
Concrete jungle boy 

G
