Intro E7 A
| A | D | A |
| I'm satisfied with just a | cottage | below |
| E7 | A | |
| A little | silver and a little | gold |
| D | A | |
| But in that city where the | ransomed will | shine |
| E7 | A | |
| I want a | gold one that's silver | lined |
|
| D | A | |
| Don't think me poor or de | serted or lonely |
| E7 | A | |
| I'm not dis | couraged I’m heaven | bound |
| D | A | |
| I'm but a pilgrim in | search of the | city |
| E7 | A | |
| I want a | mansion a harp and a | crown |
|
| E7 | A | |
| But walk on | streets that are purest | gold |
