Heart Of The City

Words and Music by Raccoon

as recorded on Nature’s Cathedrals

 

The chord progression to this song is:

·        D, D7, G, A

 

D

Deep in the heart of the city

                          D7

Where you gotta fight to live each day

                    G

I saw an old friend of mine

      A

He bowed to his knees and pray

 

D

Along came the red-eyed policeman

D7

Sadly he did say

                          G

“There’s nothing here in the law books

        A

That say’s that you can't stay right here”

 

       D

And people gathered around him

     D7

To see if he was well

                  G

I’m not the only one

                        A

Who heard him slam the gates to hell

 

            D

From a whisper to a tremble

            D7

From a tremble to a roar

G                                                A

Do you think we finally found the keys to heaven’s door?

            D

From a whisper to a tremble

            D7

From a tremble to a roar

G                                  A

Could you imagine if we had ten million more?

 

(break)

 

D                              D7

Up in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe

           G                          A

Flying hand in hand with a new law for the land

D                              D7

Up in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe

          G                               A

Flying hand in hand singing, “Now we understand”

 

D                            D7

I’ve had the dreams, I hold them true

G                                                   A

Sitting here tryin' to figure out the next thing I should do

D                                  D7

I’ve had the dreams and I’ve seen the unseen

        G                                       A

I’ve got so much power that I’m busting at the seams
