[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
