Orig.: E
E
Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth
B E
The poor square city stands
Its gems have walls of jasper shine
B E
Not made with human hands
A E
One hundred miles its gates are wide
A E
Abundant entrance there
A E
With fifty miles of elbow room
B E
On either side to spare
E
When the gates swing wide on the other side
A E
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
B
Room for you and room for me
E
For the gates are wide on the other side
A E
Where the flowers ever bloom
A E
On the right hand, on the left hand
B E
Fifty miles of elbow room
E
Sometimes I'm cramped and crowded here
B E
And long for elbow room
I want to reach for altitude
B E
Where the fairest flowers bloom
A E
It won't be long 'till I shall pass
A E
Into that city fair
A E
With fifty miles of elbow room
B E
On either side to spare
E
When the gates swing wide on the other side
A E
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
B
Room for you and room for me
E
For the gates are wide on the other side
A E
Where the flowers ever bloom
A E
On the right hand, on the left hand
B E
Fifty miles of elbow room
