Am E5
Up upon a hill
F
There is a house
C G Am
An empty book on an empty shelf
C
Look out below
F G E
I hear them coming up the road
Am E5
And once upon a time
F
It was a place
C G Gm
Way back when nobody knew your name
F Fm
We read the papers every day
F C
A summer day
F C
It's good to hide yourself away
F
But if you're gone too long
Fm G
Soon you're on your way
Am C
La la la
F G F
La la la la la la la la
C
I'm not sure
F C
If I can go there anymore
F
Cause when I venture back
Fm G
It's empty and it's cold
A E
Well there was a stream out there
D
Like a country fair
E A
It's about to rise again
E D E
Just like the way we met
A E
And if you can see your life
D
Well it's cold as ice
E A
Will you ever walk again
E D E
That's not the way it ends, no
Am E5 F
Back around the turn of the century
C G Am
It was a woman, a child and me
C
We tracked the land
F G E
This little Buddah on our hands
Am E5 F
And just before the preacher came to me
C G Am
She said there's something that you should see
F Fm
You've got some fire left to breathe
F C
So step away
F C
Because you're hungry but you're safe
F
But if you close your eyes
Fm G
You'll know just what to say
Am C
La la la
F G F
La la la la la la la la
C
Cause we go round
F C
Still as round and round and round
F
Still it's once away not
Fm G
Doubting enough to see
Am C
