Blackbird Raum - Cities

I l^Amook down on the c^G#mity It's bu^Gmrning, It's burnin^F#mg Ever^Fmything's pret^Fmtier at night ^{E E} The fla^Ammes are all lea^G#mping they're eat^Gming the build^F#mings ^FmOrion lets gi^Fmve her a chanc^Ee ^{E Am}The stars are all twink^G#mling they're ^Gmmirroring the danc^F#ming of the ^Fmflames as they r^Fmeach towards the s^Eky ^E I'm ^Amhoping and I'm pr^G#maying for a ^Gmbetter to^F#mmorrow atl^Fmeast one that i^Fmsn't so bri^Eght ^E

The ^Amfire is gro^G#mwing, eng^Gmulfing the ^F#mcity the^Fm flames that a^Fmre warming ^Emy bones ^E the ^Amlight is so ^G#mbright that the s^Gmtars are for^F#mgotten th^Fme only god le^Fmft is the m^Eoon ^E The p^Ameople are cryi^G#mng, shouting, scr^Gmeaming they're d^F#mying those^Fm living are ^Fmleft without ho^Emes ^E but their^Am houses were bui^G#mlt on the b^Gmlood of some ^F#mmother ^Fmanother who ^Fmis yet unkno^Ewn ^E

And i ^Amwant to go d^G#mown there and w^Gmalk through the ^F#mcity ^Fmheat from my he^Fmart in those fla^Emes ^E I se^Ame someone stan^G#mding, a stran^Gmger in sha^F#mdows I gr^Fmeet him, he ca^Fmlls out my n^Eame ^E I say ^Am"Ra we've succ^G#meeded, the c^Gmity is defea^F#mted we ^Fmaccomplished whe^Fmrefor we ca^Eme" ^E He says ^Am"fool don't you k^G#mnow that's the ^Gmwork of no mo^F#mrtal the su^Fmn and the s^Fmtars are to bl^Eame" ^E

The fi^Amre has burne^G#md out, the emb^Gmers are coo^F#mling The ^Fmash falls, it look^Fms just like s^Enow ^E The chi^Amldren who surv^G#mived and the gh^Gmosts of those who ^F#mdidn't are p^Fmlaying like th^Fmere's no tomo^Errow ^E in the c^Amenter of the^G#M city, the old^Gm gods are ga^F#mthered to s^Fmurvey their n^Fmew masterp^Eiece ^E they d^Amiscuss the pr^G#mos and the c^Gmons of destr^F#muction and we^Fmlcome the ne^Fmwly decea^Esed ^E and or^Amions still lau^G#mghing, hes h^Gmolding his s^F#mides as he r^Fmolls on the f^Fmloor in the s^Eky ^E as ^Ami rea^G#mlize i'm n^Gmot an immo^F#mrtal the st^Fmranger in^Fm shadows ap^Epears at my si^Ede
