From Paul Simon-Neck of my guitar website: 
 Gm  F| C  Bb| Eb  Gm|D7(no 3rd) Gm|No chord
 Gm  F| C  Bb| Eb  Gm|D7(no 3rd) |
                  Gm| G  
   There's been some hard feelings here
          |
About some words that were said
         |          
Been some hard feelings here
           |G7  
And what is more
              | C7  
There's been a bloody purple nose
        | 
And some bloody purple clothes
         |                    |
That were messing up the lobby floor
          |      G  
It's just apartment house rules
          |F  
So all you 'partment fools
         |        C|          F|          G7|    C|
Remember: one man's ceiling is  another man's floor!
       C7|           F|         G7|   Am|
One man's ceiling is  another man's floor
                 | C7  
There's been some strange goin's on
        | 
And some folks have come and gone
        |                          |
Like the elevator man don't work no more
         |F7  
I heard a racket in the hall
     |
And I thought I heard a call
     |                  |
But I never opened up my door
          | C  
It's just apartment house sense
          |Bb  
It's like apartment rents
         |        F|      Bb   Bdim|         C7|     F|
Remember: one man's ceiling is  another man's floor!
        F|      Bb   Bdim|          C|    Dm|
one man's ceiling is  another man's floor!
          |
There's an alley
               A7|      Dm  
in the back of my building
           Gm7|           Dm       A7|   Dm  
    Where some people congregate in shame
      A|              Dm   A7  
  I was walking with my dog
       |                   Dm  G  
And the night was black with smog
      |                   F  A7  
When I thought I heard somebody
       |  Dm| F|  |  | F7| Bb|  |  |  |
Call my name
 F|         Eb|        Bb        Eb   Edim|         F7|    Bb|
Ah-- Remember: one man's ceiling is  another man's floor!
         |      Eb   Edim|          F|    Gm|
one man's ceiling is  another man's floor!
