Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I [C]remember it now,
[F]we were kids back [C]then livin' down on the farm
[G]We were told that the city
could [F]only bring us [C]harm
"How far is the city?" [F]somebody said,
[C]and "oh, that's a great big tow[G]n."
Barbara said, "why,
it's a million miles," [F]and the story got [C]around

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] [F]It's
a million miles to [C]the city
From [G]the hills and valleys we [C]know
It's a [F]million miles to [C]the city
[G]And someday we all want to [C]go

[Verse 3]
There was [C]a town nearby, [F]but a town is a town,
and [C]a city...well, that's
Something else
[G]Our daddy had been to a city but[F]
he never was much [C]help

[Verse 4]
"Why the buildings are taller [F]than oak [C]trees." ah,
but we knew better than that
[G]Ain't nobody could climb that high,
[F]the cities were wide [C]and flat

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[Chorus] [C]Well
now time has passed [F]and we have
grown and [C]traveled far and wide
[G]The cities have changed the kids we were,
we [F]see it in each others eye[C]s
But I'd love to go back to [F]those hills again,
to [C]the boy I used to be
Where the [G]leaves and the wind and the whippoorwills
[F]were part of the land like me[C]

[Outro 1]
[Chorus x2]
[F][C][G][C][F]
[C][G][C][F][C][G][C]
[F]
