--
God is good! D
This song is played with a capo 3.
If you do not have a capo, up it 3 half steps.
This is pretty accurate (about 90%), but any corrections are welcome.
The chords in the passage part repeat all over the song, between the other parts.
Sorry about the organization of the chords in the lyrics. The text editor didn't help. D

Verse 1:

Bm D
Did you hear of the city on the hill?
[C]Said one old man to the other[Em7]
Bm D
It once shined bright and it would be shining still
[C]But they all started turning on each other[Em7]

Verse 2:

Bm D
You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
[C]And the soldiers thought the poets were weak[Em7]
Bm D
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
[C]And the rich man never heard the poor man speak[Em7]

Chorus:

[G]And one by one
[D]They ran away
[C]With their made up minds
[Em7]To leave it all behind
[G]And the light began to f[D]ade
[C]In the city on the hill
[C]The city on the hill

Verse 3:

Bm D
Each one thought that they knew better
[C]That they were different by design[Em7]
Bm D
Instead of standing strong together
[C]They let their differences divide[Em7]

Chorus:

[G]And one by one
[D]They ran away
[C]With their made up minds
[Em7]To leave it all behind
[G]And the light began to f[D]ade
[C]In the city on the hill
[C]The city on the hill
Passage:

Bm D C Em7
And the world is searching still
Bm D C

Bridge:

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

Ending:

Bm D C
Come home
[Em7]And the Father's calling still
Bm D C
Come home
[Em7]To the city on the hill
Bm D C
Come home
