[Verse 1]
D D4 D
Just like Philadelphia
D/F# G
Freedom means a lot to me
G/F# Em Em/F# G
In between the place I’ve been
D
And where I’m goin’
D D4 D
I can see America
D/F# G
Tryin’ not to show her age
G/F# Em Em/F# G
Even though the winds of change
D
Keep on blowin’
[Chorus]
G A4 A
And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away
G A4 A
But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday
G E
And the time is running out and we still have to say
Bm/D
Goodby---e
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Remember Philadelphia
When the world was young and warm
So in love and living for
Everything new
But I know Philadelphia
The winter wind will slowly take
Your heart and soul until it makes
Nothing of you
[Chorus]
G A4 A
And I would lay your body down and rock your tears away
G A4 A
But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday
G E
And the time is running out and we still have to say
Bm/D
Goodby---e

Bm
Flash a peace sign take a bow
A
Though we may not know it now
G G/A
Things are never gonna be the same
Bm
Here on Seventh Avenue
A
I tip my old top hat to you
G
I hope you find somebody who
Em D
Will love you like I do
[Chorus]
'Cause I would lay your body down and rock your tears away
But it’s much too late for now to be like yesterday
And the time is running out and we still have to say
Bm/D A4 A
Good bye
G
Goodbye
D
Goodbye Philadelphia
