GD7
There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor
G
And he thinks he's Hank Williams hear him singing through the door
CG
There's a girl in 202 who stops by to visit me
A7D7
And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be
GC
There's a lot of real fine talent stayin' in or passin' through
GCGCG
And for one thing or another they're committed to Parkview
D7
There's a girl in 207 coming down on Thorazine
G
And a superstars ex drummer trying to kick Benzedrine
CG
There's a real fine country singer who has tried and tried and tried
A7D7
They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide
GC
There are those who never made it those who did and now are through
GCGCG
Some came of their own good choosin' some committed to Parkview
D7
There's a girl who cries above me loud enough to wake the dead
G
They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head
CG
There's a boy just down below me who's the son of some well known
A7D7
He was brought in by his mother cause his daddy's always gone
GC
There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well-to-do
GCGCG
Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview
D7
They wake me about 6:30 just before the morning meal
G
While they're taking my blood pressure they ask me how I we feel
CG
And I always say fantastic there ain't nothing wrong with me
A7D7
And then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep
GC
And my days are kind of foggy and my nights are dreamy too
GCGCG
For they're taking good care of me while committed to Parkview
