[Verse 1]
C G
Old Joe Riley owned a fishin' shack
Am C
With the ocean out front and the bay out back
G
He had a little boat and a fisherman's tan
Am C
When he wasn't out fishin' he was sittin' in the sand
[Chorus]
G C
Then the big boys came and they offered him millions
F C G
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Am
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
F C G
I could use the money but I just can't sell
C F
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
G C
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell Come on
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G
He said I've seen the cities eatin' up small towns
Am F
Where you can't smell the breeze and it's cement ground
C G
You pay to park your car but it ain't safe to walk
Am F
Nobody looks you in the eye, don't speak, don't talk
[Chorus]
G C
So when the big boys came and they offered him millions
F G
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Am
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
F C G
I could use the money but I just can't sell
C F
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
G C
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell Here we go
[Interlude]
C G C
C G C
[Verse 3]
G
Yeah in a bank lock box there's a deed to some land
Am F
With his widow's gold ring an' a few grains of sand
C G
Joe Riley's granddaughter's gonna face a big choice
AM F
I hope she remembers her granddaddy's voice
[Chorus]
G C
When the big boys came and they offered him millions
F C G
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Am
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
F C G
I could use the money but I just can't sell
C F
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
G C
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
C F
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
G C
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell Come on
