Kansas City

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