Paul Simon

It sounds best if tuned a whole tone down, but its not absolutly necessary, it
still sounds good in standard

Em7 Am G
Peace like a river ran through the city
C G C Am
Long past the midnight curfew We sat starry-eyed
Em7
Ah,ah, We were satisfied
Em Am G
Ah, And I remember Misinformation followed us like a plague
C G C Am
Nobody knew from time to time If the plans were changed
Am/G D7/F# G Am7 G/B
Ah, ah, Ah, If the plans were changed.

Am G
You can beat us with wires
D7/F#
You can beat us with chains

You can run out your rules
Em Am7 G/B
But you know you can't outrun the history train
Am7 Gmaj7 D Em
I've seen a glorious day, aiee------------ee-----

Em
Four in the morning
Am G
I woke up from out of my dreams
C G
Nowhere to go but back to sleep
C Am
But I'm reconciled
Am/G D7/F# Em7
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for awhile
C Am/G D7/F# Em7
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for awhile
C Am/G D7/F# Em7
Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for awhile
