Am7 Em7
When I first saw the city
Am7 Em7
It was covered in haze
F6 D6 E♭m(maj7)
A low dark cloud that blocked out the sun
Eaug11 Am7
But not the pretty gate
Am7 Em7
When I walked in the city
Am7 Em7
The air almost choked me
F6 D6 E♭m(maj7)
A grimy mist full of long decay
Eaug11 Am7
That covered everything
Am7 Em7
When I stayed in the city
Am7 Em7
I got used to the stench
F6 D6 E♭m(maj7)
Kept my head down, didn’t look around
Eaug11 Am7
And I lost track of life
Am7 Em7
When I walked from the city
Am7 Em7
It all became clearer
F6 D6 E♭m(maj7)
And I could breathe; I shook off the dirt
Eaug11 Am7
Then went back home to You
