The river is deep and the river is wide,
G D
and the girl that I love is on the other side.
D
She wants to move to Kansas City
Em
Move to Kansas city
G D
"Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."
D Em
She's walking down Ellum, turning down Main,
G D
trying to find someone to sell her cocaine.
D
She wants to move to Kansas City
Em
Move to Kansas City
G D
"Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."
D Em
With a dayful of promises dead on her lips,
G D
Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hip,
D
she wants to move to Kansas City
Em
Move to Kansas City
G D
"Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."
D Em
I jumped in the water and started to drown.
G D
I thought of her walking and turned back around.
D
I want to move to Kansas City,
Em
Move to Kansas City
G D
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue.
D Em
With her pair of old wings that opened just once,
G D
she can walk on two feet now, she can go where she wants.
D
She can even move to Kansas City,
Em
Move to Kansas City
G D
Move, pretty baby where the sky is so blue.
D Em
And I'll tell you one thing that you should never do -
G D
never let a woman tell you she loves you.
D Em
She'll call you "baby," she'll look in your eye,
G D
then she'll get on that airplane and wave "bye bye bye
D Em G D
bye bye bye bye bye baby. baby bye bye. bye bye bye bye bye bye."
D Em G D
[etc]
D Em
And if I could believe what I want to believe,
G D
I'd hold you all close and take you with me,
D
all of you to Kansas City,
Em
We'll move to Kansas City
G D
Move where the sky is so blue...
