Verse 1
[Am] [G]
As I went out one evening, down Columbus Avenue
[Am]
All the sushi bars were shuttered, the dark cantinas too
[C] [G]
I stood there in the darkness, as an empty cab rolled by
[Am] [E] [Am]
When all at once I heard the sound of Yuppies in the sky
Verse 2
[Am] [G]
The herd came down Columbus, for as far as I could see
[Am]
The men were wearing Polo, and the women wore Esprit
[C] [G]
Each Yuppie had a Walkman, and as each one passed me by
[Am] [E] [Am]
I saw their sad expressions, and I heard their mournful cry
Chorus
[Am] [C] [Am] [E] [Am]
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for Yuppies in the sky
Verse 3
[Am] [G]
Each one was wearing running shoes, up-on the ghostly deck
[Am]
And each one had a cotton sweater, wrapped around the neck
[C] [G]
They all held out their credit cards, and tried in vain to buy
[Am] [E] [Am]
But all the stores were shuttered, for the Yuppies in the sky
Chorus
[Am] [C] [Am] [E] [Am]
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for Yuppies in the sky
Verse 4
[Am] [G]
I've seen them in commercials, sailing boats and playing ball
[Am]
Pouring beer for one another, crying "Why not have it all"
[C] [G]
Now I saw the ghostly progress, down Columbus Avenue
[Am] [E] [Am]
I heard the cry for mercy, and it chilled me through and through
Chorus
[Am] [C] [Am] [E] [Am]
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for Yuppies in the sky
Verse 5
[Am] [G]
All the salad bars were empty, all the Quiche Lorraine was gone
[Am]
I heard the Yuppies crying, as they vanished in the dawn
[C] [G]
Calling brand names to each other, as they faded from my view
[Am] [E] [Am]
They'll be networking forever, down Columbus Avenue
Chorus
[Am] [C] [Am] [E] [Am]
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for Yuppies in the sky
[Am] [C] [Am] [E] [Am]
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for Yuppies in the sky
