[Verse 1]
C                          F
Oh, I love this city, everybody's got a song
            C              Am     G         F
It's like a secret we were always meant to share
         C                             F
From the church on every corner to the Broadway honky tonks
            C                  Am     G      F
We've got a million songs that mingle in the air
     Am              G
And, oh, I love this city


[Verse 2]
          C                             F
Well, the bus rolled into Nashville, it parked on holy ground
           C                Am     G         F
Beside the red brick of the Mother church of country
      C                                      F
For a hundred years the hardwood here's been soaking up the sound
            C                Am     G    F
And now the stage it feels a secret as a Sunday
     Am               G
And, oh, I love this city
     C
Everybody's got a song
     F            G
Everybody's got a song
     Am               G
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
                          C F C F
When everybody sings along


[Verse 3]
           C                              F
We've been gone a couple of weeks now out playing for the crowds
                  C               Am      G       F
Sometimes they're looking back as if they know me well
    C                               F
But tonight I know my family and my friends are in the house
            C              Am    G      F
And we just need the story only you can tell
     Am               G
And, oh, I love this city
     C
Everybody's got a song
     F            G
Everybody's got a song
     Am               G
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
                      C
When everybody sings along


[Bridge]
               G                                    F             Am
Well there's a dark night in the skyline, we've got cattle in the fields
              C                              F
And we've got parthenons and puppet shows and poets
             G                              F                  Am
And when the river is in flood with all the sorrow that you feel
                C                                 F            G
Well, we've got just the song you need and I think you know it


[Verse 4]
       C                                    F
It's a song that came before us, it's gonna be here when we're gone
            C               Am       G      F
Sometimes I think I hear it drifting on the wind
       C                                  F
And it tells me there is a city where the band plays on and on
          C             Am       G     F
And every soul is gonna sing the last 'Amen'
     Am              G
And, oh, I love that city
     C
Everybody's got a song
     F            G
Everybody's got a song
     Am               G
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
                         C F C F
When everybody sings along


[Outro]
      C            G
It is well, it is well
        G             C
With my soul, with my soul
      F           C    G       C   F C
It is well, it is well with my soul
