Beautiful City Chords

(ver. 1)
Godspell
[INTRO] 
G2  G9  (4x)
 
    G             G9                    A7sus           Am7
       Out of the ruins and rubble,          out of the smoke,
Dsus           D7sus              G9/B         Bm7 
    out of our night of struggle, can we see a ray of hope ?
    Cmaj7  Bm7       Em7    Cmaj9               Bm/D
    One    pale thin ray    reaching for the day.
 
[CHORUS]
    E             E2    Bm          A/D    E             E2  Bm      A/D
    We can build      a beautiful city,    yes, we can,      yes, we can !
    E             E2    Bm          Bm7
    We can build      a beautiful city,
          D       A/C#        Am/C           Dsus    G2       G9
    not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.
 
[VERSE]
    G             G9                    A7sus          Am7
       We may not reach the ending,         but we can start,
Dsus           D7sus          G9/B            Bm7 
    slowly but truly mending, brick by brick, heart by heart.
    Cmaj7     Bm7   Em7     Cmaj9                Bm/D
    Now,      maybe now,    we start learning how.
 
[CHORUS]
    E             E2    Bm          A/D    E             E2  Bm      A/D
    We can build      a beautiful city,    yes, we can,      yes, we can !
    E             E2    Bm          Bm7
    We can build      a beautiful city,
          D       A/C#        Am/C           Dsus    G2       G9
    not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.

 
[BRIDGE]
              Bm7              Cmaj7                Bm7              Cmaj7
    When your trust is all but shattered, when your faith is all but killed
            Gsus/A             Bm7                  Cmaj7           Bm/D      D 
    you can give up bitter and battered, or you can slowly start to build_______
 
[CHORUS]
    E   E2        Bm             A/D    E             E2  Bm      A/D
    __________  a beautiful city,       yes, we can,      yes, we can !
    E             E2    Bm          Bm7
    We can build      a beautiful city,
          D       A/C#        Am/C           Dsus    G2       G9     G2   G9
    not a city of angels, but finally      a city of man.
