Verse: 

G                     Em7          Cadd9      G 
  There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground 
G             D/F#  Em7   Dsus4  Cadd9   
  And the rain is falling down 
G                   Em7             Cadd9            G   
 The church doors thrown open I can hear the organ's song 
G         D/F#     Em7    Dsus4  Cadd9 
 But the congregation's gone 

Post-verse:
  
Cadd9            G    Em7  Cadd9 G              
      My city of ruins 
G            Em7   Cadd9  G 
  My city of ruins 

Verse: 

Now the sweet veils of mercy drift through the evening trees 
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves 
The boarded up windows, the empty streets 
While my brother's down on his knees 

Post-verse:
 
My city of ruins 
My city of ruins

 Come on rise up!  Come on rise up!

 Come on rise up!  Come on rise up!

Verse:
 
Now there's tears on the pillow darling where we slept 
And you took my heart when you leftG 
Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend 
Now tell me how do I begin again?

My city's in ruins 
My city's in ruins
