[Verse]
A E
Old Joe Riley owned a fishin’ shack
F#m D
With the ocean out front and the bay out back
A E
He had a little boat and a fisherman’s tan
F#m D
When he wasn’t out fishin’ he was sittin’ in the sand
[Chorus]
E A
Then the big boys came and they offered him millions
D A E
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
E F#m
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
D A E
I could use the money but I just can’t sell
A D
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
E A
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell come on
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]
A E
He said I’ve seen the cities eatin’ up small towns
F#m D
Where you can’t smell the breeze and it’s cement ground
A E
You pay to park your car but it ain’t safe to walk
F#m D
Nobody looks you in the eye, don’t speak, don’t talk
[Chorus]
E A
So when the big boys came and they offered him millions
D A E
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
E F#m
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
D A E
I could use the money but I just can’t sell
A D
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
E A
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell here we go
[Solo]

[Bridge]
A G#m
Yeah the bank lock box there’s a deed to some land
F#m D
With his widow’s gold ring a few grains of sand
A E
Joe Riley’s granddaughter’s gonna face a big choice
F#m D
I hope she remembers her granddaddy’s voice
[Chorus]
E A
When the big boys came and they offered him millions
D A E
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
E F#m
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
D A E
I could use the money but I just can’t sell
A D
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
E A
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A D
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
E A
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell come on
