G+G ~ G+G ~

  G+G                       - A minorAm
1.   Out of the ruins and rubble,     out of the smoke,
D MajorD                       G+G     E minorEm   D MajorD
  out of our night of struggle, can we see a ray of hope ?
   C majorC  B minorBm    E minorEm A minorAm           D MajorD
  One pale thin ray reaching for the day.

 E MajorE            D MajorD          E MajorE       D MajorD
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can !
 E MajorE             D MajorD
We can build a beautiful city,
     B minorBm   A augmentedA        A minorAm          D MajorD     G+G
not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.

  G+G                         - A minorAm
2.   We may not reach the ending,     but we can start,
D MajorD                        G+G     E minorEm   D MajorD
  slowly but surely mending, brick by brick, heart by heart.
   C majorC   B minorBm   E minorEm  A minorAm            D MajorD
  Now, maybe now, we start learning how.

+ CHORUS

            B minorBm         E minorEm              B minorBm        E minorEm
+ When your trust is all but shattered, when your faith is all but killed
          C majorC            B minorBm               C majorC       D MajorD
  you can give up bitter and battered, or you can slowly start to build !

 E MajorE            D MajorD          E MajorE         D MajorD
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can !
 E MajorE             D MajorD
We can build a beautiful city,
     B minorBm   A augmentedA        A minorAm    D MajorD     G+G
not a city of angels, but finally a city of man.

THE END!
