FIFTY MILES OF ELBOW ROOM
(F.W. McGee)
G C
Twelve hundred miles, its length and breadth
G D7 G
That four-square city stands
C
It's gem-set walls of jasper shine
G D7 G
They're not made by human hands
C G
One hundred miles its gates are wide
C G
Abundant entrance there
C G Em
With fifty miles of elbow room
G D7 G
On either side to spare.

(Chorus)
G
When the gates swing wide on the other side
C G
Just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare as we enter there
D7
There'll be room for you and room for me
G
For the gates are wide on the other side
C G
Where the fairest flowers bloom
C G Em
On the right hand and on the left hand
G D7 G
Fifty miles of elbow room.

G
Sometimes I'm cramped and I'm crowded here
D7 G
And I long for elbow room
I long to reach for altitude
D7 G
Where the fairest flowers bloom
C G C G
It won't be long before I pass into that city fair
C G Em
With fifty miles of elbow room
G D7 G
On either side to spare.
