house on the hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Coy[C]ne[F][C]
Well I'm going to the house upon the hill,
The [G]place where they give you [Em]pills
The rooms [E]are always [G]chilled,

[Verse 2]
They're never cosy
[C]Where they give three suits a year
[G]And at [C]Chr[G]istmas time a bottle of beer
And at [Em]Easter [E]time the mayor
[Em]comes [G]round,
He's always smiling

[Verse 3]
Where the [C]old ladies sit by the garden wall
And they [G]never hear the
bluebird [Em]call
Never [E]no tice the leaves that [Em]fall
[E]cau[G]se they're all crazy
[F]Where the[G] red

[Verse 4]
[C]bus stands
by the great big gate
The [G]red bus that's always [Em]late,
You know why [E]it's always [G]late

[Verse 5]
Cause it's always empty
[D]
Funny, [F]funny, funny, funny,
[G]oh so funny that's it's making me [D]cry
Funny, [F]funny, funny, funny, [A]oh so funny Lord,
[Am]some[D]time[C]s I wish[G] I could die.

[Verse 6]
Now this [C]pagan life is getting me down,
my [G]brow is filled with a furl and a frown
My [Em]eyelids lower [E]as low as can
[Em]be b[G]ut I'm not sleeping

[Verse 7]
I [C]wander round that Brixton Square with
[G]the bottles strewn everywhere
[Em]Under [E]tables and [Em]under chairs
[G]and they're all broken

[Verse 8]
Where the [C]big red face of the man on the beat Says [G]Hey,
have you had someting to [Em]eat?
[E]Thrusts out his yellow teeth[Em],
[G]they're all for biting

[Verse 9]
[C]Where I don't have a cent and [G]I don't
know how I'll pay the [Em]rent
I think [E]I'll [Em]turn [G]bent and make

[Interlude 1]
some money
[G][D][F][G][D][Dm][F][A]
[D]So[F]

[Verse 10]
[G]if [F]you[G] kn[C]ow a way I can go
[G]from out of this show you kno[E]w
You could give me a golden glow
[G]but you're not trying

[Verse 11]
You'd [C]never lift a regular hand,
you [G]call me a lazy man
[Em]Who on earth[E] will ever un
[Em]derstand [G]I'm really trying

[Verse 12]
So I'm [C]going to the house upon the hill,
the [G]place where they give you pills
And [Em]where [E]the doctors the[Em]y don't
[G]kill cause they're so friendly

[Verse 13]
[C]Where the red bus stands
by the great big gate
[G]The red bus and it's always late,
[Em]you know[E] why it's always late[Em][G]

[Verse 14]
Because it's [G]always empty
