   D               Am                  G     Em
A man can lose his past, in a country like this
C#
Wandering aimless
 G           B
Parched and nameless

A man could lose his way, in a country like this
Canyons and cactus
Endless and trackless

C                     D         C D
Searching through a grim eternity
Sculptured by a prehistoric sea

Chorus:
 A     G         E
Seven Cities of Gold
  A           G         E
Stories that fired my imagination
A      B         C
Seven Cities of Gold
     A        B            C
A splendid mirage in this desolation
Em     D         G   B
Seven Cities of Gold
 Em         D               G      B
Glowing in my dreams, like hallucinations
 A              G          E
Glitter in the sun like a revelation
 A            G          E
Distant as a comet or a constellation

A man can lose himself, in a country like this
Rewrite the story
Recapture the glory

A man could lose his life, in a country like this
Sunblind and friendless
Frozen and endless

And the nights get longer, the farther I go
Wake to aching cold, and a deep Sahara of snow

Chorus:
Seven Cities of Gold
Stories that fired my imagination
Seven Cities of Gold
A splendid mirage in this desolation
Seven Cities of Gold
Glowing in my dreams, like hallucinations
Glitter in the sun like a revelation
Distant as a comet or a constellation

That gleam in the distance could be heaven's gate
A long-awaited treasure at the end of my cruel fate

Chorus:
Seven Cities of Gold
Stories that fired my imagination
Seven Cities of Gold
A splendid mirage in this desolation
Seven Cities of Gold
Glowing in my dreams, like hallucinations
Glitter in the sun like a revelation
Distant as a comet or a constellation
