House On The Hill Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

(C,F,G)(C,F,G)

 Well I foCund a bunch of letters they were wFritten for the fella

 Who brGoke your Momma's heart

 And the envCelope folds smFelled of her ancientG perfume

FI'll bet she didn'Gt know

 How to resCpond before the blanBkets of sAmnow caught him out wanFderingG alone

 With no place to gCo

(F,C)

FAnd there was stars in thGe sky

 There were hoCuses on the hiBll and there were boAmttles of pills

 That were Feasy to buyG, keep her warm from thCe oncoming storm

Well I found them in the north-west corner of the attic in a box

Labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'

Didn't know what I was looking, maybe just a blanket or artifacts

Eisenhower sent him to war

He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart and when he hit

the shore, must of been a target for the gunner-men

There were stars in the sky

And there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill

Where he would lie, shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes

(Chorus 1)
