City on the Hill Casting Crowns God is good! =D This song is played with a capo 3. If you do not have a capo, up it 3 half steps. This is pretty accurate (about 90%), but any corrections are welcome. The chords in the passage part repeat all over the song, between the other parts. Sorry about the organization of the chords in the lyrics. The text editor didn't help. =D The chords are (positions relative to the capo): Bm D* C Em7 G D (e) ----- 2 -------- 2 -------- 0 -------- 0 -------- 2 -------- 2 ---- (B) ----- 3 -------- 3 -------- 2 -------- 3 -------- 2 -------- 3 ---- (G) ----- 4 -------- 2 -------- 2 -------- 0 -------- 0 -------- 2 ---- (D) ----- 4 -------- 4 -------- 2 -------- 2 -------- 0 -------- 0 ---- (A) ----- 2 -------- 5--------- 0 -------- 2 -------- 3 -------- X ---- (E) ----- X -------- X -------- X -------- 0 -------- 2 -------- X ---- The introduction and the verses go like this: (e) -----------2-----------2----------0---------------------------------| (B) --------3------------3---------2---2-----------------3-------3------| (G) ---- 4-- ---------2----------2-------2-------------0-------0--------| (D) -------------------------------------------------2-------2----------| (A) --2 ----------5-----------0-----------------------------------------| (E) ----------------------------------------------0---------------------| Verse 1: Bm D* Did you hear of the city on the hill?
