       I hear a voice               and I hear a sound.
            The sound of my     shoes        oh, shuffling outta town.
       Too many people                  too many cars.
     Take me to Memphis,        Mercury or       Mars.


                G               F#               Em             G/D
  Cause I wanna go                     where the buffalo        roam.
                C               C                G              G
     I'm just a city boy           lookin' for a home.


                G               Bm               C              C
        I can't breathe.                 I can't see.
            The city's              no place for me.
            And I can't          seem to find my way.
       I'm just existing             from day to day.


                G               F#              Em             G/D
Cause I want to be                     where my soul   can run free.
                C               C               G               G
Well, I'm just a city boy         lookin' for a home.


                D       D/E     D/F#            G               G
          Now I don't   want to be           no prisoner.
                C               C               G               G
          And I sure don't wanna be          no slave. 
                F#      G       Am              Em              G/D
      I want to look out at the night   and see stars    in the sky...
                Am              Am              D               D
     The Little Dipper            and the Milky Way.


                G               Bm              C               C
        I can't sleep.                 It's too loud.
            And everywhere    I go        there seems to be a crowd.
        And I'm tired of all     these concrete streets.
      I want to feel the dirt       up under my feet.


                G               F#              Em             G/D
  Cause I wanna go          somewhere where the buffalo        roam.
                C               C               G              G
     I'm just a city boy          lookin' for a home.

 Oh, I'm just a city boy           lookin' for a home.
