Verse 1
The angels are (G major) lost in the city of stars
Wise men are down on their knees

And the (A minor) ladies on (D major) Magdalene Lane (G major)
All (A minor) worship the sun (D major) and the sand (G major)
(A minor) And the migrants who (D major) come
can't com (G major) plain
(C major) For this is their (A minor) promised (D major) (G major) (A minor) land (C major)
(D major) (G major)
