Marchin To The City

         Eb/Bb      Bb
Well I'm sitting in church
      Eb/Bb      Bb
In an old wooden chair
 Eb/Bb    Bb
I knew nobody
      Eb/Bb       Bb
Would look for me there
            Eb7
Sorrow and pity

Rule the earth and the skies
            Bb7
Looking for nothing
Eb/Bb    Bb
Anyone's eyes
                  F
Once I had pretty girls
       Eb
Did me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city

         Eb/Bb      Bb
And the road ain't long

[Verse]
      Eb/Bb      Bb
Snowflakes are falling
  Eb/Bb    Bb
Around my head
 Eb/Bb       Bb
Lord have mercy
    Eb/Bb          Bb
It feel heavy like lead
                 Eb7
I been hit too hard

Seen too much
             Bb7
Nothing can heal me now
Eb/Bb     Bb
But your touch
                    F
Once I had a pretty girl
            Eb
She done me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city
        Eb/Bb      Bb
And the road ain't long

[Verse]
Eb/Bb      Bb
Loneliness
Eb/Bb             Bb
Got a mind of its own
    Eb/Bb        Eb
The more people around
    Eb/Bb          Bb
The more you feel alone
                    Eb7
I'm chained to the earth

Continues after the ad
Like a silent slave
                Bb7
Trying to break free
Eb/Bb          Bb
From the death stockade
                     F
Once I had a pretty girl
        Eb
Done me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city
         Eb/Bb       Bb
And the road ain't long


[Verse]
     Eb/Bb      Bb
Boys in the street
  Eb/Bb       Bb
Beginning to play
Eb/Bb       Bb
Girls like birds
Eb/Bb        Bb
Flying away
                 Eb7
I'm carrying the roses

That were given to me
                         Bb7
And I'm thinking about paradise
Eb/Bb              Bb
Wondering what it might be
                    F
Once I had a pretty girl
            Eb
She done me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city
          Eb/Bb      Bb
And the road ain't long


[Verse]
 Eb/Bb       Bb
Go over to London
 Eb/Bb       Bb
Maybe gay Paree
  Eb/Bb        Bb
Follow the river
  Eb/Bb        Bb
You get to the sea
                        Eb7
I was hoping we could drink from

Life's clear streams
                      Bb7
I was hoping we could dream
  Eb/Bb          Bb
Life's pleasant dreams
                    F
Once I had a pretty girl
                Eb
But she done me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city
Eb/Bb              Bb
And the road ain't long

[Verse]
   Eb/Bb          Bb
Well the weak get weaker
   Eb/Bb            Bb
And the strong stay strong
    Eb/Bb          Bb
The train keeps rolling
Eb/Bb     Bb
All night long
              Eb7
She looked at me

With an irresistible glance
           Bb7
With a smile
         Eb/Bb                 
That could make all the planets 
  Bb
dance
                     F
Once I had a pretty girl
           Eb
She did me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city
Eb/Bb              Bb
And the road ain't long

[Verse]
   Eb/Bb        Bb
My house is on fire
Eb/Bb           Bb
Burning to the skies

Eb/Bb              Bb
I thought the rain clouds
Eb/Bb                 Bb
But the clouds passed by
           Eb7
When I'm gone

You'll remember my name
                 Bb7
I'm gonna win my way
Eb/Bb          Bb
To wealth and fame
                    F
Once I had a pretty girl
               Eb
But she did me wrong
                        Bb
Now I'm marching to the city
Eb/Bb              Bb
And the road ain't long
