Intro: F#m – E6 – D6maj7 – E6



F#m    	      E6         D6maj7  E6                            	

Bored of the life in the city of gold

      E           F#m      H                                           

He'd left and let nobody know

 F#m           E6      D6maj7             E6             

Gone were the towers he had known from a child

  E             F#m       H                          

Alone with the dream of a life

     C#           F#        G# 

He travelled the wide open road                               

                Fm         

The blinkered arcade

               G#        F#          Db/F 

In search of another to share in his life

 Eb Bb C#

Nowhere

D#m       F#          G#              

Everyone looked so strange to him



        D#m              

They've got no horns and they've got no tail

     G#m                       

They don't even know of our existence

      D#m                    

Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold

       G#m                   

That lies in the deep distance, he cried



And wept as they led him away to a cage

"Beast that can talk", read the sign

The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame

And questioned his story again

But soon they grew bored of their prey

Beast that can talk ?

More like a freak or publicity stunt

Oh, no



They've got no horns and they've got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold

That lies in the deep distance, he cried







            Eb                                      Db

And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out

     G#                                                    Eb     F7

He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out

Bb                Bbmaj7          Eb       Bb  

There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination

Bb             Bbmaj7       Eb               F  

Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold

Eb  F   G                  F                   C        Eb 

Let me take you there and show you a living story

Bb                C#           Eb      

Let me show you others such as me

        G#m     C# 

Why did I ever leave ?



They've got no horns and they've got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold

That lies in the deep distance, he cried

And wept



And so we set out with the beast and his horns

And his crazy description of home

After many days journey we came to a peak

Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out

We followed his gaze and we thought maybe we saw

A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all

But the beast was gone and a voice was heard



They've got no horns and they've got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold

That lies in the deep distance, he cried
