Chords

[Intro] G G [Verse 1]
G                            Am
Out of the ruins and rubble, out of the smoke,

D                             G         Em        D
Out of our night of struggle, can we see a ray of hope?

C    Bm       Em  Am               D
One pale thin ray reaching for the day.
[Chorus]
E              D               E            D
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can!

E              D
We can build a beautiful city,

       Bm      A          Am             D        G
Not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.
[Instrumental] G G [Verse 2]
G                            Am
We may not reach the ending, but we can start,

D                          G               Em       D
slowly but surely mending, brick by brick, heart by heart.

C    Bm    Em   Am                D
Now, maybe now, we start learning how.
[Chorus]
E              D               E            D
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can!

E              D
We can build a beautiful city,

       Bm      A          Am             D        G
Not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.
[Bridge]
         Bm                Em                   Bm               Em
When your trust is all but shattered, when your faith is all but killed

         C                 Bm                   C               D          E
you can give up bitter and battered, or you can slowly start to build...
[Outro]
D                 E            D
A beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can!

E              D
We can build a beautiful city,

      Bm      A           Am                G
Not a city of angels, but finally a city of man.

          Bm
A city of man

Am      G
City of man
