Chords

Since this song was written on the piano, I have formatted the chords to be played on the piano. The song is a slightly higher register, so with that being said, I start by using my left hand on middle C and my right for the next higher chord, if that makes any sense. The song is very easy, and follows a C, G, Am, F chord progression. Even though this is played on the piano, I'm sure someone could play it on the guitar! If you have any suggestions, feel free to add them! What really makes this song beautiful is the sincerity and humanity that comes from the vocals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Verse 1]
C                 G
  There’s a house, that’s not on a hill

 Am
 And the paint’s chipping off

F
 Of the old window sill

C
 There’s a tree in the front yard

G
  That’s older than me

Am                      F
 And older than all of you

C
 There’s a smell that the heat makes

G
 It reminds me of Christmas

Am                  F
 And birthdays in December
[Chorus]
C
 I remember her

G
 I remember her

Am                F
I remember her so well

C
 I remember her

G
 I remember her

Am                F   
I remember her so well

F                C
   But things they fade
[Verse 2]
C
 She would kiss my hand

G
 She would kiss my head

Am
 Then she’d fall asleep with me

F
 In my tiny bed

C
 She would sing me lullabies

G
 Gave me my hazel eyes

Am                                
 And then she’d call me beautiful

F
She made me beautiful
[Chorus]
C
 I remember her

G
 I remember her

Am                F
I remember her so well

C
 I remember her

G
 I remember her

Am                F   
I remember her so well
[Verse 3] (once)
F                 C
 But things they fade

G           
 Things turn to grey

Am
 As much as I try to save them

F
 They turn grey

C                        G 
 Just like the house, that’s not on a hill

       Am
With all of the rust on the gate

  F
The chips on the sill

F             C
But I love it still
