Capo 5
Intro: Am
(Am) C
In an old house on a hillside
G7 Am
Next to the sea
Am C G7 Am
Far from the madness, that folds around me
Am C G7 Am
Peaceful and gentle, like sails on the breeze
Am C
In an old house on a hillside
G7 Am
Next to the sea
Am C
There’s a warm light on a cold night
G7 Am
And clean cotton sheets
Am C G7 Am
Soap smelling skin and tingling feet
Am C
With stars lining the skyline
G7 Am
And shine through the trees
Am C
In an old house on a hillside
G7 Am
Next to the sea
G7 C Am-C
And when the autumn comes down
G7 C Am-C
We’ll get what we need from the town
G7 C Am-C
And all of our friends will be round
Am C
In an old house on a hillside
G7 Am
Next to the sea
Am C G7 Am
Moon white as paper and night like asleep
Am C G7 Am
With old things behind us and new things to be
Am C
In an old house on a hillside
G7 Am
Next to the sea
G7 C Am-C
And when the sunshine comes down,
G7 C
My hair will turn golden
Am C
And my skin will turn brown
G7 C Am-C
And all of our friends will be round
