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: Aadd9Aadd9 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.

     E6E6          E MajorE
Did you hear of the city on a hill

     Badd11    Aadd9Aadd9
Said one old man to the other

         E6E6               E MajorE
It once shined bright and it would be shining still

    Badd11            Aadd9Aadd9
But they all started turning on each other

       E6E6               E MajorE
You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow

     Badd11             Aadd9Aadd9
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak

     E6E6              E MajorE
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish

    Badd11              Aadd9Aadd9
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak

Chorus
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
And one by one they ran away

     Badd11             Aadd9Aadd9
With their made up minds to leave it all behind

     A augmentedA       E MajorE          Badd11
And the light began to fade in the city on a hill

        E6E6 E MajorE Badd11 Aadd9Aadd9
The city on a hill


(verse 2)(same chord pattern as verse one)


Bridge
        Aadd9Aadd9
But it was the rhythm of the dancers

   E6E6      Badd11
that gave the poets life

      Aadd9Aadd9                E6E6        Badd11
It was the spirit of the poets that gave the soldiers strength to fight

      Aadd9Aadd9                E6E6      Aadd11
It was the fire of the young ones, it was the wisdom of the old

       E MajorE             E6E6   Badd11 Aadd11
It was the story of the poor man that needed be told
