         E6                    E 
Did you hear of the city on a hill 

         Badd11        Aadd9 
Said one old man to the other 

                 E6                             E 
It once shined bright and it would be shining still 

        Badd11                       Aadd9 
But they all started turning on each other 

             E6                              E 
You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow 

         Badd11                         Aadd9 
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak 

          E6                            E 
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish 

        Badd11                            Aadd9 
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak 





[Refrão]
 
            A            E 
And one by one they ran away 

          Badd11                          Aadd9 
With their made up minds to leave it all behind 

         A              E                   Badd11 
And the light began to fade in the city on a hill 

                E6 E Badd11 Aadd9 
The city on a hill 



verse 2(same chord pattern as verse one) 



Bridge: 
                Aadd9 
But it was the rhythm of the dancers 

      E6            Badd11 
that gave the poets life 

            Aadd9                               E6                Badd11 
It was the spirit of the poets that gave the soldiers strength to fight 

           Aadd9                                E6            Aadd11 
It was the fire of the young ones, it was the wisdom of the old 

             E                          E6      Badd11  Aadd11 
It was the story of the poor man that needed be told
