City Lights(Ukulele chords)

	        

verse 1: 

               G                    G 
She was like a brand new song on an old guitar 
  Cadd9          Cadd9 
A Supernova in a mason jar 
      G                          Cadd9 
Every boy in town wanted to show her around 
     G                     G 
As a dirt road, fence row, kudzu king 
Cadd9              Cadd9 
Beating along this American dream 
G                          Cadd9 
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up 
          D               Cadd9   G 
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes 
      D                  Cadd9         G 
And I knew just where to take her that night 


 
          G 
And we got high on top of that ridge 
G 
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge 
G                 G 
When the sun went down, there she was 
G 
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust 
      D                                  Cadd9       '2 extra strums' 
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night 
      G 
She's city lights 


verse 2: 
             G                      G 
She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have 
  Cadd9              Cadd9 
A shooting star that falls too fast 
    G                  Cadd9 
Try holding on, it's already gone 
  G                   G 
I searched that radio low and high 
Cadd9                           Cadd9 
Tryin' to find a song to make a memory by 
      G                  Cadd9 
And I did alright, for a small town guy 
    D          Cadd9  G 
But even in my arms I knew 
    D                            Cadd9       G 
I'd never shine as bright as her city lights do 


           G 
And we got high on top of that ridge 
G 
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge 
G                 G 
When the sun went down, there she was 
G 
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust 
      D                                  Cadd9 
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night 
      G 
She's city lights
 

Solo G G G G 

Chorus: 
           G 
And we got high on top of that ridge 
G 
We could see for miles, past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge 
G                 G 
When the sun went down, there she was 
G 
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust 
      D                                  Cadd9 
I'm a cigarette burnin' slow on a summer night 
      G 
She's city lights 
      G 
She's city lights 

G                     Cadd9 
She's my city lights, city lights 
G                     Cadd9 
She's my city lights, city lights 
G                     Cadd9 
She's my city lights, city lights 
G                     Cadd9 
She's my city lights, city lights
