Capo: 3 Tuning:
City on the Hill Casting Crowns God is good! =D This song is played with a capo 3. If you do not have a capo, up it 3 half steps. This is pretty accurate (about 90%), but any corrections are welcome. The chords in the passage part repeat all over the song, between the other parts. Sorry about the organization of the chords in the lyrics. The text editor didn't help. =D The chords are (positions relative to the capo): Bm D* C Em7 G D (e) ----- 2 -------- 2 -------- 0 -------- 0 -------- 2 -------- 2 ---- (B) ----- 3 -------- 3 -------- 2 -------- 3 -------- 2 -------- 3 ---- (G) ----- 4 -------- 2 -------- 2 -------- 0 -------- 0 -------- 2 ---- (D) ----- 4 -------- 4 -------- 2 -------- 2 -------- 0 -------- 0 ---- (A) ----- 2 -------- 5--------- 0 -------- 2 -------- 3 -------- X ---- (E) ----- X -------- X -------- X -------- 0 -------- 2 -------- X ---- The introduction and the verses go like this: (e) -----------2-----------2----------0---------------------------------| (B) --------3------------3---------2---2-----------------3-------3------| (G) ---- 4-- ---------2----------2-------2-------------0-------0--------| (D) -------------------------------------------------2-------2----------| (A) --2 ----------5-----------0-----------------------------------------| (E) ----------------------------------------------0---------------------| Verse 1:

Verse 2:
BmYou see, the poets thought the danceD*rs were shallow CAnd the soldiers thought the poets wEm7ere weak BmAnd the elders saw the young ones as foolish D* CAnd the rich man never heard the poor man sEm7peak

GAnd one by one DThey ran away CWith their made up minds Em7To leave it all behind GAnd theD light began to fade CIn the city on the hill CThe city on the hill
Verse 3:

Bridge:
GBut it was the rhythm of the dancers That gave the poets life DIt was the spirit of the poets CThat gave the soldiers strength to fight GIt was the fire of the young ones BmIt was the wisdom of the old CIt was the story of the poor man That needed to be told
Ending:
Bm D* C Come home Em7And the Father's calling still Bm D* C Come home Em7To the city on the hill Bm D* C Come home
