Em              F      G
The holy    city breathed
         Em          F    F
Like a dying man
    Em                    F         G
It moved    with hopeful tears 
           Em                     F      F
With the tears of the blind


    G                    F
And on and on    as the night drew in
          G                       F
Through broken streets    that sucked me in
    G                      F 
My feet were bare     and cut with stones
        G            F         Em
With walking to the promised land


               2 x     Em        F      G
   

    Em                                 F                G 
I pushed through crowds,      through seas of prayer
           Em                    F           F
Through twisting hands    and choking air
   Em                   F          G
A vulture     at the wailing wall
    Em             F        F
I circled,      waiting 









    G                     F
And on and on    as the night drew in
          G                      F
Through broken streets    that sucked me in
    G                      F 
My feet were bare     and cut with stones
        G              F          Em
With walking to the promised land




           4 x     Em        F      G
