[Verse 1]
C F
Oh, I love this city, everybody's got a song
C Am G F
It's like a secret we were always meant to share
C F
From the church on every corner to the Broadway honky tonks
C Am G F
We've got a million songs that mingle in the air
Am G
And, oh, I love this city
[Verse 2]
C F
Well, the bus rolled into Nashville, it parked on holy ground
C Am G F
Beside the red brick of the Mother church of country
C F
For a hundred years the hardwood here's been soaking up the sound
C Am G F
And now the stage it feels a secret as a Sunday
Am G
And, oh, I love this city
C
Everybody's got a song
F G
Everybody's got a song
Am G
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
C F C F
When everybody sings along
[Verse 3]
C F
We've been gone a couple of weeks now out playing for the crowds
C Am G F
Sometimes they're looking back as if they know me well
C F
But tonight I know my family and my friends are in the house
C Am G F
And we just need the story only you can tell
Am G
And, oh, I love this city
C
Everybody's got a song
F G
Everybody's got a song
Am G
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
C
When everybody sings along
[Bridge]
G F Am
Well there's a dark night in the skyline, we've got cattle in the fields
C F
And we've got parthenons and puppet shows and poets
G F Am
And when the river is in flood with all the sorrow that you feel
C F G
Well, we've got just the song you need and I think you know it
[Verse 4]
C F
It's a song that came before us, it's gonna be here when we're gone
C Am G F
Sometimes I think I hear it drifting on the wind
C F
And it tells me there is a city where the band plays on and on
C Am G F
And every soul is gonna sing the last 'Amen'
Am G
And, oh, I love that city
C
Everybody's got a song
F G
Everybody's got a song
Am G
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
C F C F
When everybody sings along
[Outro]
C G
It is well, it is well
G C
With my soul, with my soul
F C G C F C
It is well, it is well with my soul
