Verse 1
(G major) When the (D flat minor) city (G major) comes alive
with the (F major) evening song,
We (G major) dance in the shadow
of the (F major) great (G major) Parthenon,
A gift to our (G major) goddess,
(C major) to Athena we (A minor) pray,
Built by the (G major) world that Pericles made.
We (A minor) bask in the glory with
Verse 2
freedom (G major) of speech
Where words of the pauper
weigh the (F major) same as the (G major) rich.
(A minor) Democracy might (A major) not (G major) be
(A minor) fair (G major) as it seems.
The??? living comfort
we now (A major) live (A minor) in dis (G major) ease.
We live, in disease.

Verse 3
Now Sparta is (G major) posed with their
(F major) envi (G major) ous words
(A minor) Demanding a (G major) taste of what's
rightfully ours.
Times are changing,
we're (F major) told (G major) to withdraw
In (F major) to our (A minor) city (G major) behind
walls of grandeur.
(A minor) O glorious (F major) Athens, (A minor) arise (G major) and we'll sing
And all the soldiers of Sparta
(F major) will (G major) bring. (A major)
Pericles will (A minor) lead (F major) us,
and (A minor) fields burn on (G major) fire
So we can return (F major) to the
(A minor) life we de (G major) sire,
The life (F major) we desire.
(G major)
Verse 4
(F major) But we dare not (F major) say,
(G major) what the (F major) future will bring (G major) .
If the enemy conquers,
(G major) (F major) we lose everything. (G major)
(A minor) So we pray to Athen (F major) a to
(A minor) keep us here (G major) safe
And Pericles not (F major) to seal our fate.
We (A minor) pray to Athen (F major) a to keep (G major) us here safe,
(G major)
(F major) Not (A major) to seal (A minor) our fate, not to seal our fate,
Not to seal our fate...
