Kansas City

    D                     Em
The river is deep and the river is 
wide,
        G                   D
and the girl that I love is on the 
other side.
             D
She wants to move to Kansas City
Em
Move to Kansas city
  G                  D
 “Move, pretty baby, where the sky 
is so blue.”
      D                   Em
She’s walking down Ellum, turning 
down Main,
G                         D
trying to find someone to sell her 
cocaine.
             D
She wants to move to Kansas City
Em
Move to Kansas City
G                             D
“Move, pretty baby, where the sky is
 so blue.”
       D                  Em
With a dayful of promises dead on 
her lips,
G                 D
Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hip,
             D
she wants to move to Kansas City

Move to Kansas City
G                             D
“Move, pretty baby, where the sky is
 so blue.”
  D                       Em
I jumped in the water and started to
 drown.
  G                          D
I thought of her walking and turned 
back around.
          D
I want to move to Kansas City,
Em
Move to Kansas City
G                            D
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is 
so blue.
         D                     
With her pair of old wings that 
 Em
opened just once,
        G                        
she can walk on two feet now, she 
     D
can go where she wants.
             D
She can even move to Kansas City,
Em
Move to Kansas City
G                           D
Move, pretty baby where the sky is 
so blue.
         D                         
And I’ll tell you one thing that 
 Em
you should never do -
      G                D
never let a woman tell you she loves
 you.
       D                      Em
She’ll call you “baby,” she’ll look 
in your eye,
            G                      
then she’ll get on that airplane 
  D
and wave “bye bye bye
        D           Em             
bye bye bye bye bye baby. baby bye 
G                D
bye. bye bye bye bye bye bye."
D Em G D
[etc]
    D                         Em
And if I could believe what I want 
to believe,
    G                      D
I’d hold you all close and take you 
with me,
       D
all of you to Kansas City,
      Em
We'll move to Kansas City
G              D
Move where the sky is so blue...
