Title: That's What Keeps The Rent Low, Baby Artist: Geoff Berner ( http://www.geoffberner.com/ and ) Transcribed by: Denjario This song is a nice little sarcastic piece about why rent is low in most cities. It's my song by Geoff Berner, so I decided to transcribe the chords for it. Since this is on the accordion, you can probably get away with playing the same chords on piano as well. The intro is just a finger-styled version of the chords below. Be creative and it's how Geoff Berner does it ;) Verse I:CHush little babe Fdon't you cry CPlease don't mind the GscreaCming COf the man in the alley on the Fsmall of his back CThe police man's knee is GkneeClin CI'll tell you an open Fsecret, child CNot everyone is GknowCin CIf that little man ever Fleft this place CYou and I would soon Gbe goCinChorus:CCuz that's what keeps the Frent down, baby CThat's what keeps the Grent downC low CThat's what keeps the Frent down baby CThat's what keeps the Grent downC lowVerse II:CYour daddy ain't rich, Fhe's a music man CYour mother she's a GpainCter CWe took over the lease of Fthis old house CFrom those whose hearts are GfaintCer CCuz we don't mind the Fpainted ladies With Ctheir weeping souls all GswolClen CWe don't mind that everyFone we know CHas had their stereo GstoClenChorus: Cuz that's what keeps the rent down, baby That's what keeps the rent down low That's what keeps the rent down baby That's what keeps the rent down low (play verse chords for a full verse for the instrumental solo) Verse III:COne fine morning youF wake up to CBulldozers and renoGvaCtion CCuz folks like your mom and Fdad Are just shockC troops of gentrifiGcaCtion CFor the single young Fprofessionals Who find the Cneighborhood hip and GcharCming CBut if they heard about the lady who got Fchopped up in the alley CThey'd probably find it GalarCmingChorus:CCuz that's what keeps the Frent down, baby CThat's what keeps the Grent downC low CThat's what keeps the Frent down baby CThat's what keeps the Grent downC low CThat's what keeps the Grent downC low CThat's what keeps the Grent downC low
