F#m7 Bm(add C#) C#m7
Bored of the life in the city of gold
He'd lC#m7eft and let nF#m7obody kBnow
F#m7 Bm(add C#) C#m7
Gone were the towers he had known from a child
AloC#m7ne with the dF#m7ream of a lBife
He trDbavelled the wGbide open rAb7oad
The blinkered arFmcade
In search of anAbother to sGbhare in his Fmlife

No - whe - re

Everyone looked so strange to him
They've Ebm7got no horns and they've got no tail
They Abm7don't even know of our existence
Am I wEbm7rong to believe in a city of gold
That liAbm7es 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 Gb/Db
And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out
He grAb7abbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing oDbut F
BbThere, beyond the F6bounds of yoEb6ur weak imagiBbnation
BbLie the noble tF6owers of my cEb6ity, bright and goF/Cld
Eb/GLet Fme tGake you there and sD7sus4how you a living stCory Eb
Bb/DLet me show you Dbothers such as Ebme
Abm7 Abm7/Db
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
