For those who aren't familiar with that^ little chord chart there, from left to right
each number represents each string (EADGBE) and the number there is the fret you will be
putting your fingers in. Also a helpful hint: Aadd9 and Badd11 have the exact same
finger formation, Badd11 is just 2 frets higher.  So you can easily slide back and forth between
the two.

         E6                    E
Did you hear of the city on a hill
 
         Badd11        Aadd9
Said one old man to the other
 
                 E6                             E
It once shined bright and it would be shining still
 
        Badd11                       Aadd9
But they all started turning on each other
 
             E6                              E
You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow
 
         Badd11                         Aadd9
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
 
          E6                            E
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
 
        Badd11                            Aadd9
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak
 
 
 
 
Chorus
            A            E
And one by one they ran away
 
          Badd11                          Aadd9
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
 
         A              E                   Badd11
And the light began to fade in the city on a hill
 
                E6 E Badd11 Aadd9
The city on a hill
 
 
 
(verse 2)(same chord pattern as verse one)
 
 
 
Bridge
                Aadd9
But it was the rhythm of the dancers
 
      E6            Badd11
that gave the poets life
 
            Aadd9                               E6                Badd11
It was the spirit of the poets that gave the soldiers strength to fight
 
           Aadd9                                E6            Aadd11
It was the fire of the young ones, it was the wisdom of the old
 
             E                          E6      Badd11  Aadd11
It was the story of the poor man that needed be told
