Houses on the hill
By: Whiskeytown


Intro:

C  Fmaj  G x2


Verse:

    C                 Fmaj
Well I found a bunch of letters they were written for the fella
  G
Who broke your Momma's heart
    C               Fmaj
And the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume
   G
I'll bet she didn't know
     C        C/B     Am
How to respond before the blankets of snow caught him out
  Fmaj   G    C      Fmaj
wandering alone with no place to go

G  C

Chorus:

Fmaj            G
And there were stars in the sky
      C       C/B         Am
There were houses on the hill and there were bottles of pills
     Fmaj      G    C        Fmaj
That were easy to buy to keep her warm from the oncoming storm

G

Verse:
    C              Fmaj
Well I found them in the north-west corner of the attic,
     G
In a box Labeled "Tinsel and Lights"
    C              Fmaj          G
Didn't know what I was looking for, maybe just a blanket or artifacts

C

Fmaj          G
Eisenhower sent him to war
      C       C/B       Am
He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
Fmaj        G        C           Fmaj
and when he hit the shore he must of been a target for the gunman

G  C

Chorus:

Fmaj          G
There were stars in the sky
        C       C/B         Am
And there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
     Fmaj      G            C       Fmaj
Where he would lie, shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes

G  C

Fmaj            G
And there were stars in the sky
      C       C/B         Am
There were houses on the hill and there were bottles of pills
     Fmaj      G    C        Fmaj
That were easy to buy to keep her warm from the oncoming storm

G  C
