Casting Crowns - City On The Hill: Guitar Chords

        Dm                       F
Did you hear of the city on the hill?
     C                  Gm7
Said one old man to the other
                Dm                              F
It once shined bright and it would be shining still
         C                           Gm7
But they all started turning on each other

You see, the poets thought the dancers were shallow
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak

Chorus:
           A#             F
And one by one they ran away
            C                        Gm7
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
         A#             F                     C
And the light began to fade in the city on a hill
               Dm F C Gm7
The city on a hill

Each one thought that they knew better
But they were different by design
Instead of standing strong together
They let their differences divide

Chorus

                A#
But it was the rhythm of the dancers that gave
the poets life
             F
It was the spirit of the poets that gave the
 C
soldiers strength to fight
            A#                                 Dm
It was the fire of the young ones, it was the wisdom
of the old
             C
It was the story of the poor man that needed
be told

It is the rhythm of the dancers that gives
the poets life
It is the spirit of the poets that gives
the soldiers strength to fight
It is the fire of the young ones,
it is the wisdom of the old
It is the story of the poor man
that's needing to be told

Chorus:
And one by one, will we run away
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill

And one by one, will we run away
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the city on the hill
The city on the hill

Come home
And the father's calling still
Come home
To the city on the hill
Come home
