As a child on the farm

G D

I was warned of the wiles of the city

C D C Em - D

G D

Of that demon disguise

G D

There's the dirt in the skies of the city

C D C Em - D

D Em D Em

Well they say the proximity warps their minds

D Em D Em

'Til they're shooting one another just pass the time

Em D

And we live it appears

C D

Both in spite and in fear of the city

G ­ D ­ G ­ D

C ­ D ­ C ­ Em D

Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah

Oooohhh

I was constantly told

How our lives were controlled by the city

How they keep us in debt

With the trends that they set it's a pity

Now the beautiful people in the magazines

Got the normal ones living beyond their means

And the things that they said

Made me go in my head to the city

Oooohhh

Ahhhhhhh

D Em D C Bm

Ah, ah, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh

D D Em D C Bm

Ah, ah, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh

D D Em D C

Ah, ah, ahhhhhhh, ahhh

(solo)

When I finally came

There's some things still the same in the city

Your still under the thumb

Of the rich and the young and the pretty

Well they weren't much different than we might act

If there was that many others that closely packed

It's an ancient idea

But it struck me so clear in the city

Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah

Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah

Oooohhh

Ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

An alternate way to play this song is to capo on the 5th fret.
