D Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth A D the four square city stands A D it's gem set walls of jasper shine, not made with human hands. G D G D One hundred miles its gates are wide, abundant entrance there, G D A D with fifty miles of elbow room, on either side to spare. D When the gates swing wide on the other side, G D just beyond the sunset sea, there'll be room to spare as we enter there, A room for you and room for me. D For the gates are wide on the other side, G D where the flowers ever bloom, G D A D on the right hand, on the left hand, fifty miles of elbow room. D Sometimes I'm cramped and crowded here, A D and long for elbow room, A D I want to reach for altitude where fairer flowers bloom. G D G D It won't be long till I shall pass into that city fair, G D A D with fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare.
