City Boy by Keb' Mo'
City Boy
G Bm C C
I hear a voice and I hear a sound.
The sound of my shoes oh, shuffling outta town.
Too many people too many cars.
Take me to Memphis, Mercury or Mars.
G F# Em G/D
Cause I wanna go where the buffalo roam.
C C G G
I'm just a city boy lookin' for a home.
G Bm C C
I can't breathe. I can't see.
The city's no place for me.
And I can't seem to find my way.
I'm just existing from day to day.
G F# Em G/D
Cause I want to be where my soul can run free.
C C G G
Well, I'm just a city boy lookin' for a home.
D D/E D/F# G G
Now I don't want to be no prisoner.
C C G G
And I sure don't wanna be no slave.
F# G Am Em G/D
I want to look out at the night and see stars in the sky...
Am Am D D
The Little Dipper and the Milky Way.
G Bm C C
I can't sleep. It's too loud.
And everywhere I go there seems to be a crowd.
And I'm tired of all these concrete streets.
I want to feel the dirt up under my feet.
G F# Em G/D
Cause I wanna go somewhere where the buffalo roam.
C C G G
I'm just a city boy lookin' for a home.
(Harmonica Solo for verse)

C C G G
Oh, I'm just a city boy lookin' for a home.

Whoa, just a city boy lookin' for...
