City On The Hill

Intro: Bm  D  A  G  Bm  D  A

Verso 1:

         Bm                    D
Did you hear of the city on the 
hill?
          A                   G
Said the one old man to the other
                Bm                 
It once shined bright and it would 
            D
be shining still
          A                        
But they all started turning on 
   G
each other

( Bm  D  A )

Verso 2:

             Bm              
You see the poets thought the 
                D
dancers were shallow
           A                       
And the soldiers thought the poets 
      G
were weak
          Bm                       
And the elders saw the young ones 
    D
as foolish
         A                      
And the rich man never heard the 
  G
poor man speak

Refrão:
            G            D
And one by one they ran away
            A                      
With their made up minds to leave 
   Em
it all behind
          G              D        
And the light began to fade in the
           A
 city on a hill
               Bm
The city on a hill

Verso 3:

            Bm                 
Each one thought that they knew 
   D
better
                  A           G
But there were different by design
             Bm              D
Instead of standing strong together
                  A          G
They let their differences divide

Refrão 2:

            G            D
And one by one they ran away
            A                      
With their made up minds to leave 
  Em
it all behind
          G             D         
And the light began to fade in the
            A
 city on a hill

               Bm   D   A
The city on a hill
         Em                  Bm   
And the world is searchin' still
  D      A


Ponte:

                 G
But it was the rhythm of the dancers
 that gave the poets life
             D                     
It was the spirit of the poets that
             A
 gave the soldiers strength to fight
            G                      
It was the fire of the young ones, 
             Bm
it was the wisdom of the old
             A
It was the story of the poor man 
that needed be told

( Bm  D  A  G  Bm  D  A )

Refrão 3:

        G                D
One by one, will we run away?
          A                        
With our made up minds to leave it 
 Em
all behind
         G              D         
As the light begins to fade in the
            A
 city on a hill?
               Bm
The city on a hill

( D )

Final:

      A
Come home
          Em              Bm - D
And the Father's calling still
      A
Come home
        Em          Bm - D
To the city on the hill
      A
Come home
