City Of Awakening Chords

(ver. 1)
Judy Collins
[Intro]
| Cadd2   | Fsus2   | Cadd2   | Fsus2   |
 
 
[Verse 1]
                      Cadd2     G/B                F      G
The village with its scrambled streets and lovers' lanes
              C        G/B                F
The long lost rooms on Perry Street where love was slain
             Am                    G            F
The drifting dreams that turned to ashes in the rain
                 Cadd2               F           G
The flights from fancy all along the vast terrain
            C              C/B                 Fmaj7
That always brought me back over the bridge of sighs
              C           C/B                     Fmaj7
The desperate dreams, the yearning and the lonely nights
            Am         G6                 Fmaj7
In some far city where I salvaged sweet delights
         C                              G7    G
Awake in sorrow, struggling to get back home
         Am7                 G                  Fadd9
Over the rivers, through thе woods, sore to the bone
              Am7              G                      Fadd9    G
Thе windswept beaches where my shattered dreams could roam
 
 
[Verse 2]
              C          C/B                   Fmaj7
The dazzling stages, the bright lights where I dreamed and wept
            C               C/B          Fmaj7
Embraced by music where the secrets were kept
         Am              G         F
City of awakening, where I found myself
           C                     F     G
City of my youth, of poverty and wealth
            Am7              G              Fadd9
Stripped of roaming figures, you are still alive
         Am                G6               Fmaj7   G
You will blossom, you will win, you will survive
 
 
[Verse 3]
                      C    G/B       F      G
Drunk in Greenwich Village, drunk in London Town
         C               G/B              F
Drunk in mountain cities where the clouds came down
   Am            G6            Fmaj7
Sunlight pouring on my younger face
          C                        G
Light and laughter, fear without a trace
        Am7      G        Fadd9
City of yearning, city of time
        Am7       G        Fadd9    G
City of beginning, city of rhyme
 
 
[Verse 4]
                      C         G/B                Fmaj7
The village with its scrambled streets and lovers' lanes
              C        G/B                Fadd9
The long lost rooms on Perry Street where love was slain
    Am7              Gadd11             F
The flights of fancy all along the vast terrain
                C                       G
That brought me back over the bridge of sighs
 
 
[Outro]
        Csus4     Csus4
City of raw beauty
        C            Csus4
City of bright lights
       C     Csus4
Bright lights
       Cadd2
Bright lights
