Stephen Sondheim - "I'm Still Here
C7 Absus4/G C7 Absus4/G
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear, I'm still here
C7 Absus4/G Em6 A9
Plush velvet sometimes Sometimes just pretzels and beer, but I'm here
D9 G-9
I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes
Em9 A-9
Strummed ukuleles, sung the blues
Dm11 A7 C7 Absus4/G
Seen all my dreams disappear but I'm here.
C7 Absus4/G C7 Absus4/G
I've slept in shanties, guest of the W.P.A., but I'm here
C7 Absus4/G Em6 A9
Danced in my scanties, Three bucks a night was the pay, but I'm here
D9 G-9
I've stood on bread lines with the best
Em9 A-9
Watched while the headlines did the rest
Dm G-9 Em6 A-9
In the depression was I depressed? Nowhere near,

I met a big financier and I'm here
