Capo 1

A- 002220
E- 022100
E6- 046600
Aadd9- 577600
Badd11- 799800

For those who aren't familiar with that^ little chord chart there, from left to right
each number represents each string (EADGBE) and the number there is the fret you will be
putting your fingers in. Also a helpful hint: Aadd9 and Badd11 have the exact same 
finger formation, Badd11 is just 2 frets higher.  So you can easily slide back and forth between
the two.

E6 (04xxxx@1)                  EDid (022100@1)you hear of the city on a hill

Badd11        Aadd9Said (x02420@1)one old man to the other

E6 (04xxxx@1)                           EIt (022100@1)once shined bright and it would be shining still

Badd11                       Aadd9But (x02420@1)they all started turning on each other

E6 (04xxxx@1)                            EYou (022100@1)see the poets thought the dancers were shallow

Badd11                         Aadd9And (x02420@1)the soldiers thought the poets were weak

E6 (04xxxx@1)                          EAnd (022100@1)the elders saw the young ones as foolish

Badd11                            Aadd9And (x02420@1)the rich man never heard the poor man speak



Chorus
            A (x02220@1)          EAnd (022100@1)one by one they ran away

Badd11                          Aadd9With (x02420@1)their made up minds to leave it all behind

A (x02220@1)            E (022100@1)                 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
                Aadd9But (x02420@1)it was the rhythm of the dancers

E6 (04xxxx@1)          Badd11
that gave the poets life

Aadd9 (x02420@1)                             E6 (04xxxx@1)              Badd11
It was the spirit of the poets that gave the soldiers strength to fight

Aadd9 (x02420@1)                              E6 (04xxxx@1)          Aadd11
It was the fire of the young ones, it was the wisdom of the old

E (022100@1)                        E6 (04xxxx@1)    Badd11  Aadd11
It was the story of the poor man that needed be told
