C F C
And here, atop the hill so high
C F C
Lived an old man, now his house is mine
C F C
He gave it to me before I arrived
C Am C Am C
On the hill, the pasture was fine, his sheep were alive
C F C
But I sold them all, every woolly one
C F C
There was a carrot patch, now it's gone
C F C
The old dusty shack, cold and bare
C Am
I turned it into something rare
C F
The dark little forest now shines at night
C F
With lanterns hung, casting light
C F
And at the cliff's edge, a fence so strong
C Am
A beacon so bright, no sailor goes wrong
