v1
C G
They say my final masterpiece
F C
Was this house on the hill
G D
High above the great and mighty river
C G
My hand could not hold the brushes
F C
Yes, I guess I lost my will
C G D
And you can't keep painting paradise forever
C
Oh forever
(Fill)
------
v2
C G
>From the Andes to Niagara
F C
To where we stand today
G D
I drew the great creations of my Master
C G
'til the oil and the canvas
F C
Lord, I threw them all away
C G D
And traded them for stone and brick and plaster
C
I traded them all for you
__This part is sung in conjunction with the fill:__
C G
Winter wind blows and the river lies frozen at my feet
(I traded them all for you)
C G
Springtime come and the river wanna run above the street
------
v3
C G
She came to me one night
F C
While I was tossing in my dreams
G D
She said she'd give my family protection
C G
I recall the night I died
F C
Beneath her arches and her beams
G D
I thanked her for the shelter and direction
C
I was lost until Olana
__This part is sung in conjunction with the fill:__
C G
Sun beat down on a summertime town; he left me here
(I was lost until Olana)
C
Watching these hills turning gold for one more year
------
F Am
Oh, I've been from Jerusalem to Rome
F Am
Now I'm floating through these rooms tonight alone
F
And looking back on everything
C D C
All I ever wanted was a home
__This part is sung in conjunction with the fill:__
I was lost until Olana
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
N.C.
They say my final masterpiece
Was this house upon a hill
