[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                 F                      C
I remember it now we were kids back then living down on the farm
G7                               F                C
We were told that the city could only bring us harm
                         F             C
Well how far away is the city you know that's a great big town
            G                                 F                   C
And Barbara said why it's a million miles and then the story got around
 
 
[Chorus]
       F                    C             G7                   C
It's a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know
       F                    C        G                     C
It's a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                             F                    C
There was a town nearby but a town is a town and a city that's somethin' else
    G7                           F                    C
Our daddy had been to a city but he never was much help
                 F                     C
The buildings're taller than oak trees ah but we knew better than that
G7                                           F                 C
Cause ain't nobody could climb that high the city was wide and flat
 
 
[Chorus]
       F                    C             G7                   C
It's a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know
       F                    C        G                     C  G A7 D
It's a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                         G                 D
The years have passed and we have grown and traveled far and wide
    A7                                      G                      D
The cities have changed the kids we were we see it in each other's eyes
                    G                         D
Lord I'd love to go back to those hills again to the boy I used to be
A7
Where the leaves in the wind and the whippoorwills
G                           D
Were all just a part of the land like me
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
       G                    D             A7                   D
It's a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know
       G                    D        A7                    D
It's a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go
       G                    D             A7                   D
It's a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know
       G                    D        A7                    D
It's a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go
