Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth that four square city stands

     C                                 G7              C
It's gem set walls of jasper shine not made with human hands

    F                  C               F                 C
One hundred miles it's gates are wide abundant entrance  there

     F              C             G7             C
With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare

         C                                         F               C
When the gates swing wide on the other side just beyond the sunset sea

            C                                                G7
There'll be room to spare as we enter there room for you and room for me

        C                                          F            C
For the gates are wide on the other side where the flowers ever bloom

       F                 C                         G7    C      G7  C
On the right hand on the left hand  fifty miles of elbow room

    C                                      G7             C
Sometimes I'm cramped and crowded here and long for elbow room

  C                                G7           C
I want to reach for altitude where fair flowers bloom

   F                  C              F            C
It won't be long till I shall pass into that city fair

With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare

When the gates swing wide on the other side just beyond the sunset sea

            C                                                G7
There'll be room to spare as we enter there room for you and room for me
