(ver. 1)
Carter Family
[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
       C                                         G7               C
Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth that four square city stands
     C                                 G7              C
It's gem set walls of jasper shine not made with human hands
    F                  C               F                 C
One hundred miles it's gates are wide abundant entrance  there
     F              C             G7             C
With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare


[Chorus]
         C                                         F               C
When the gates swing wide on the other side just beyond the sunset sea
            C                                                G7
There'll be room to spare as we enter there room for you and room for me
        C                                          F              C
For the gates are wide on the other side where the flowers silver bloom
       F                 C                         G7    C      G7  C
On the right hand on the left hand  fifty miles of elbow room


[Verse 2]
    C                                      G7             C
Sometimes I'm cramped and crowded here and long for elbow room
  C                                G7           C
I want to reach for altitude where fair flowers bloom
   F                  C              F            C
It won't be long till I shall pass into that city fair
     F              C                    G7      C
With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare


[Chorus]
         C                                         F               C
When the gates swing wide on the other side just beyond the sunset sea
            C                                                G7
There'll be room to spare as we enter there room for you and room for me
        C                                          F              C
For the gates are wide on the other side where the flowers silver bloom
       F                 C                        G7    C
On the right hand on the left hand fifty miles of elbow room
