Track 9 of 11 on the album "In Search of a Song" (1971) [Intro] F C G7 C [Verse 1]
      C                          F
Yeah, I remember it now, we were kids back then

C
   Living down on the farm

G7
   We were told that the city

      F             C
Could only bring us harm

                       F
"How far is the city?" somebody said

C
And "Oh, that's a great big town"

G7
   Barbara said, "Why, it's a million miles"

F                  C
And the story got around
[Chorus]
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know

       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
[Verse 2]
            C            F
There was a town nearby, but a town is a town

      C
And a city... well, that's something else

G7
   Our daddy had been to a city

F                        C
   But he never was much help

                       F
"Why the buildings are taller than oak trees"

C
   Ah, but we knew better than that

G7
   Ain't nobody could climb that high

    F                    C
The cities were wide and flat
[Chorus]
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know

       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
[Verse 3]
     C                    F
Well now, time has passed and we have grown

    C
And travelled far and wide

    G7
The cities have changed the kids we were

   F                      C
We see it in each other's eyes

                           F
But I'd love to go back to those hills again

       C
To the boy I used to be

          G7
Where the leaves and the wind and the whippoorwills

F                          C
Were part of the land like me
[Chorus]
       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know

       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go

       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

         G7                   C
From the hills and valleys we know

       F                    C
It's a million miles to the city

    G7                   C
And someday we all wanna go
