  D                          G

  One day I went and left my home out in the West

  Bm                               A

  Said I was headed for the Silver City

  D                        G

  All along the line I was dreaming all the time

  Bm              A              D

  Dreaming of the shining Silver City

  

  I kissed my love goodbye, said "Honey don't you cry"

  For I'm going to the Silver City

  If you could read my mind you'd know that I'll be fine

  Soon as I do my time in the Silver City

  

  Two weeks and a day I slowly made my way

  To the gates of the Silver City

  Finally one night I saw the flaming lights

  I had made it to the Silver City

  

  I honestly believed that I would be received

  With the golden key to the Silver City

  But my first night on the town, bandits knocked me down

  They welcomed me to the Silver City

  

  Musta been a freak mistake I said as I did wake

  In the gutter of the Silver City

  With a throbbing head I begged for my bread

  Half-smiling as I bled in the Silver City

  

  Oh, how can there ever be such misery in the streets

  How can it ever be in the Silver City?

  But soon enough I saw how easy it was to fall

  And not be seen at all in the Silver City

  

  Got caught for a crime I done; Policeman said "Son."

  "Don't you try to run in the Silver City"

  He locked me in his jail. No one to go my bail.

  Oh when can I sail away fron the Silver City?

  

  Now the moon crys through the bars; my love shines in the stars

  I'm glad that she is far from the Silver City

  If she could read my mind she'd know that I'll be fine

  Soon as I do my time in the Silver City

  (Judge said five to nine in the Silver City)
