     G               D 
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.
