1.     Out of the ruins and rubble,          out of the smoke,
D                                              G         Em     D
    out of our night of struggle, can we see a ray of hope ?
      C    Bm        Em  Am                     D
    One pale thin ray reaching for the day.
 
  E                       D                   E              D
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can !
  E                         D
We can build a beautiful city,
         Bm      A               Am                    D         G
not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.
 
    G                                                 - Am
2.     We may not reach the ending,         but we can start,
D                                               G         Em      D
    slowly but surely mending, brick by brick, heart by heart.
      C     Bm      Em   Am                        D
    Now, maybe now, we start learning how.
 
+  CHORUS
 
                        Bm                 Em                            Bm                Em
+  When your trust is all but shattered, when your faith is all but killed
                    C                        Bm                             C              D
    you can give up bitter and battered, or you can slowly start to build !
 
  E                       D                   E                  D
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can !
  E                         D
We can build a beautiful city,
         Bm      A                Am        D         G
not a city of angels, but finally a city of man.
