Van Dyke Parks


Ebm E F#m A

Ab A Ab F#

B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
Life is like a journey on a road that's within
B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
Head says you should stay, but your heart says to begin
       Ab
So you go
                     F#   -  B
But you don't wanna go

B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
Any life worth living isn't life just filled with ease
B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
You just stay forgiving through the forest and the trees
       Ab
And you'll go
                     F#   -  B
Just where you wanna go

G   -     A     -  B - -  C
Time flies by in the city of light
G   -     A     -  B - -  G
Time stands still in the country
G   -     A     -  B - -  C
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
G    -    A   - B
As we travel the land
        E   -  D   -     Eb    -  E  -
And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied
G
To reside with some pride
        C
While I ride
                         G
To the city, the city of light!

E - F# - A - B

B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
Light shines like a diamond in the city at night
B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
When that diamond shines you know that everything's all right
       Ab
But you know
                     F#   -  B
We got a way to go

B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
Let us meet the master, we don't wanna make him wait
B     -        C#     -     E       -           F#   -
You just keep a-knockin' He will open up the gate
                 Ab
To that city of light

F# - B--A--G#--F#

G                      A      -      B     - 
Master is a man with a plan I can understand
G     -     A     -     B      -    G      -
Master is a man of great reflection
G                      A      -      B     -
Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
G     -     A     -     B      
Master is the man of our affection

G   -     A     -  B - -  C
Time flies by in the city of light
G   -     A     -  B - -  G
Time stands still in the country
G   -     A     -  B - -  C
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
G    -    A   - B
As we travel the land
        E   -  D   -     Eb    -  E  -
And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied
G
To reside with some pride
        C
While I ride
                         G
To the city, the city of light!
