A Light on a Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][C][G][Am]
[G][F][C][Csus4]
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
That's no [Am]way [G]to live
All [F]tangled up [Csus4]like
[C]balls of [G]string.[Am]
And we [G]woke at dawn
And [F]watched the [Csus4]sun glide over[C]

[Interlude 1]
the hill.
[G][Am][G][F][C][F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
I just [Am]said [G]the first
Three [F]words [Csus4]that popped
[F]int[C]o my head.[G][Am]
Let me [G]off the bus; I'm [F]tired and [Csus4]soar[F]
[Csus4]and shoul[C]d probably change cloth[G]es.[Dm]
And the circuits are [F]blown,
[Am]My w[F]o man is cold,
Our children [C]are stoned
and [G]worth[Dm]less.
All waiting for [C]you to tell [G]them the [F]truth. The truth [Dm]is a line,
[C]that you'll nev[G]er use[Am].

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][F][C][G][Am][G]
[Gsus4][F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
And her [Am]dig [G]nity
[F]Shown so [C]bright [Csus4]like[F]
[C]a light on [G]a hill.[Am]
And she [G]burned for me,
And no [F]other [C]man came
[F]near [G]the flame.[Am]
And back coun[G]try songs the [F]deafening
[C]twang [G]of the [C]rich-white-kid blues
blues
[G]blues[Am]
You can own [G]the stage,
But [F]the lights and glares [C]will
not make you real.
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
She whispers to [C]me,
I was meant to be [F]free.
This life that we've [C]built is [G]deadly.[Dm]
She crawls from my bed,
[C]with a comb cross her hea[F]d.
She crawls to [C]the train and [G]drives herself

[Outro 1]
