[Intro]
D G A
D G A
[Verse 1]
D G
Right where you are standing
A
The dinosaurs did a dance
D G
The indians told a story
A
Now it has come to pass
G D
The Indians had a legend
A
The Spaniards lived for gold
G D
The white man came and killed them
A
But they haven't really gone
[Chorus]
D A G
We live in the city of dreams
D A G
We drive on the highway of fire
Em
Should we awake
G
And find it gone
A
Remember this, our favorite town
D G A
D G A
[Verse 2]
D G A
From Germany and Europe And Southern U.S.A.
D G A
They made this little town here That we live in to this day
G D A
The children of the white man Saw Indians on TV
G D A
And heard about the legend How their city was a dream
[Chorus]
D A G
We live in the city of dreams
D A G
We drive on the highway of fire
Em
Should we awake
G
And find it gone
A
Remember this, our favorite town

[Verse 3]
D G A
The Civil War is over And World War One and Two
D G A
If we can live together The dream it might come true
G D A
Underneath the concrete The dream is still alive
G D A
A hundred million lifetimes A world that never dies
[Chorus]
D A G
We live in the city of dreams
D A G
We drive on the highway of fire
Em
Should we awake
G
And find it gone
A
Remember this, our favorite town
D A G
We live in the city of dreams
D A G
We drive on the highway of fire
Em
Should we awake
G
And find it gone
A
Remember this, our favorite town
