city of david 2

C-Am-G-F
if i could live my life again
i'd sail upon a silver wind
i'd live it all again  in the city of david

C-Am-G-F
if i could live another day
i'd sail away on silver waves
i'd spend it on the hills in the city of david


G-Am-F
we've got tonight to claim tomorrow
i will beg and steal and borrow
upon a sea of endless sorrow

Em-F
where there's a will there's a way
resurrect a fireworks display
i would die and go to ground
G
on that holiday


C-Am-G-F
if i could live my life again
i'd sail upon a silver waves
i'd live it all again  in the city of david

C-Am-G-F
if i could live another day
i'd sail away on silver winds
i'd spend it on the hills in the city of david

G-Am-F
all the ones that  matter most
the father's son and  his holy ghost
won't raise a glass to toast

Em-F
for the memory of today
it was such a simple thing
i'm going west instead
G
on this holiday

compress the living and the lying
with the living and the dying
and the laughing and the crying


C-Am-G-F
if i could live my life again
i'd sail upon a silver wind
i'd live it all again  in the city of david

C-Am-G-F
if i could live another day
i'd sail away on silver winds
i'd spend it on the hills in the city of david

C-Am-G-F
if we could find our hearts a store
for only love and nothing more
we would wash up on the shores of the city of david

C-Am-G-F
if us, together, you and me
could force our hearts and minds to see
our humanity in the city of david

C-Am-G-F
a game of thrones and a game of thoughts
all for all and all for naught
the room is blinding dark
in the city of david

C-Am-G-F
sniff hallucinigenic glue
a potion or a stew
compose a song or two
for the city of david

c-am-em-f-g

i'll take you away away away away
away away
away away away
to the city of david

Em
compress living and dying into a short period over the holidays

G-Am-F
we'll bend the rules till they can't be broken
we'll want a taste of what they're smoking
from sacramento to hoboken
Em-F
head east little child
head east with a smile
the first step in one thousand miles
G
back home again
