A Million Miles To The City Chords

(ver. 1)
Tom T. Hall
[Intro]
F  C  G7  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
      C                          F
Yeah, I remember it now, we were kids back then
C
   Living down on the farm
G7
   We were told that the city
      F             C
Could only bring us harm
                       F
"How far is the city?" somebody said
C
And "Oh, that's a great big town"
G7
   Barbara said, "Why, it's a million miles"
F                  C
And the story got around
 
 
[Chorus]
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
 
 
[Verse 2]
            C            F
There was a town nearby, but a town is a town
      C
And a city... well, that's something else
G7
   Our daddy had been to a city
F                        C
   But he never was much help
                       F
"Why the buildings are taller than oak trees"
C
   Ah, but we knew better than that
G7
   Ain't nobody could climb that high
    F                    C
The cities were wide and flat
 
 
[Chorus]
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
 
 
[Verse 3]
     C                    F
Well now, time has passed and we have grown
    C
And travelled far and wide
    G7
The cities have changed the kids we were
   F                      C
We see it in each other's eyes
                           F
But I'd love to go back to those hills again
       C
To the boy I used to be
          G7
Where the leaves and the wind and the whippoorwills
F                          C
Were part of the land like me
 
 
[Chorus]
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city
    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
