Easy Street
Words & Music by Alan Rankin Jones, 1941Recorded by Julie London, 1955
A F#m D9 E7 A A7 D9
Easy Street, I'd love to live on Easy Street.
Dm6 E7-9 A F#7
Nobody works on Easy Street --
D9 E7 A9 F#m
Just lie around all day,
D9 Bm7-5 E7-9 E7
Just sit and play the hor - ses.
A F#m D9 E7 A A7 D9
Life is sweet for folks who live on Easy Street
Dalt D6 Dm6 A F#7
No weekly payments you must meet
Dalt E7/9 A9
That makes your hair turn grey.
Bridge:
A A9 A7 D9 D D9 D
When op - por - tu - nity comes knock - in',
D9 Dm D9 Dm
You just keep on with your rock - in'
A9 A A9 A A7
'Cause you know your for - tune's made;
A A9 A7 D9 D D9 D
And if the sun makes you per - spire,
D9 Dm D9 - Dm
There's a man that you can hire
B7 Cdim B7 Cdim E7 E9 A E7-9
To plant trees so you can have shade.
A F#m D9 E7 A A7 D9
On Easy Street, I'm telling everyone I meet
Dm6 A F#7
If I could live on Easy Street
D9 E F#7 Edim F#7
I'd want no job today,
Gdim D9 E7/6 D9 Dm6 AM7
So please go 'way.
