"City On The Hill"
Capo: 3
Key: D
Intro: Bm, D, A, G, Bm, D, A
VERSE 1:
Did you h[Bm]ear of the city on the[D] hill?
Said the o[A]ne old man to the ot[G]her
It once shined b[Bm]right and it would be shining s[D]till
But they a[A]ll started turning on each o[G]ther
Bm, D, A
VERSE 2:
You see the p[Bm]oets thought the dancers were sh[D]allow
And the sol[A]diers thought the poets were w[G]eak
And the el[Bm]ders saw the young ones as fo[D]olish
And the r[A]ich man never heard the p[G]oor man speak
CHORUS:
And one by o[G]ne they ran a[D]way
With their m[A]ade up minds to leave it a[Em]ll behind
And the li[G]ght began to fa[D]de in the city on a [A]hill
The city on a h[Bm]ill
D, A, G
VERSE 3:
Each one tho[Bm]ught that they knew be[D]tter
But there were dif[A]ferent by de[G]sign
Instead of st[Bm]anding strong to[D]gether
They let their dif[A]ferences di[G]vide
CHORUS 2:
And one by o[G]ne they ran a[D]way
With their m[A]ade up minds to leave it [Em]all behind
And the li[G]ght began to f[D]ade in the city on a h[A]ill
The city on a h[Bm]ill[D] [A]
And the w[Em]orld is searchin' st[Bm]ill[D] [A]
BRIDGE:
But it was the rh[G]ythm of the dancers that gave the poets life
It was the sp[D]irit of the poets that gave the sol[A]diers strength to fight
It was the f[G]ire of the young ones, it was the wi[Bm]sdom of the old
It was the st[A]ory of the poor man that needed be told
Bm, D, A, G, Bm, D, A
CHORUS 3:
One by o[G]ne, will we run a[D]way?
With our m[A]ade up minds to leave it a[Em]ll behind
As the li[G]ght begins to f[D]ade in the city on a h[A]ill?
The city on a h[Bm]ill
[D]
END:
Come h[A]ome
And the Fa[Em]ther's calling s[Bm]til[-]l[D]
Come h[A]ome
To the c[Em]ity on the h[Bm]ill[-] [D]
Come h[A]ome
