Houses on the hill
By: Whiskeytown


Intro:

C majorC  Fmaj  G+G x2


Verse:

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

G+G  C majorC

Chorus:

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

G+G

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

C majorC

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

G+G  C majorC

Chorus:

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

G+G  C majorC

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

G+G  C majorC
