The
chord progression to this song is:
·
D, D7, G, A
D
Deep
in the heart of the city
D7
Where
you have to fight to live each day
G
I
saw an old friend of mine
A
Bow
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
says 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?
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 being led by a magic man
D D7
Singin', “I have the key – I hold
the key
G A
You
could say that the key has a hold on me”
D D7
Out
on the skyline I see a way
G
A
I
can’t turn my head and run – I’ve got to be brave
D D7
Cuz
I have the key and I hide the key
G A
Ain’t
no way that you can take it from me
D D7
Out
on the highway I know my role
G
Hangin' on to an old street light
A
And
makin'
half dreams whole
D D7
I’ve
had the dreams and I hold 'em 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 bustin' at the seams
