[Intro/Chorus]
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
G C Bm Am, G C D/F# G
[Verse 1]
G C
Say you don't know me, or recognize my face
F/G D/G G
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
C
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
F/G D G D/F#
Too many runaways eating up the night
[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7 G D G Cadd9(v1)
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
Cadd9(v2) Bm Am7
We built this city,
Cadd9(v3) G C Em
we built this city on rock and roll
[Chorus]
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
[Verse 2]
G C
Someone's always playing corporation games
F/G D/G G
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
C
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
F/G D G D/F#
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page
[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7 G D G Cadd9(v1)
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
Cadd9(v2) Bm Am7
We built this city,
Cadd9(v3) G C Em
we built this city on rock and roll
[Chorus]
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
[Verse 3]
G C G (C D/F#) G
It's just another Sunday,
G/B G C D
in a tired old street
G Cmaj9 C G C
Police have got the choke hold, oh----oh, oh, oh,
G D/F#
but we just lost the beat
G C
Who counts the money underneath the bar
F/G D/G G
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars
C
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
F/G D G D/F#
Looking for America, crawling through your schools
[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7 G D
(music only)Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio,
G Cadd9(v1)
Don't you remember (remember)
[Chorus 2]
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
[Outro]
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
Built this city, we built this city
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city
Cmaj9 G G Am7 G
Built this city, we built this city
Cmaj9 G Bm G Cmaj7
Built this city, we built this city
