      Am             C
In an old house on a hillside

G              Am
Next to the sea

Am           C             G              Am
Far from the madness, that folds around me

Am           C            G            Am
Peaceful and gentle, like sails on the breeze

      Am             C
In an old house on a hillside

G           Am   Am
Next to the sea
[Verse 2]
          Am              C
There's a warm light on a cold night

    G              Am
And clean cotton sheets

Am            C        G            Am
Soap smelling skin and tingling feet

Am             C
Stars line the skyline

    G                 Am
And shine through the trees

      Am             C
In an old house on a hillside

G           Am   Am
Next to the sea
[Chorus 1]
G            C            Fsus2  C
And when the autumn comes ro-ound

       G           C            Fsus2 C
We'll get what we need from the to-own

     G           Am            Fsus2  (Am)
And all of our friends will be ro-ound
[Instrumental] Am C G Am x2 Am [Verse 3]
      Am             C
In an old house on a hillside

G           Am
Next to the sea

Am            C         G               Am
Moon white as paper and night black as sleep

     Am            C           G             Am
With old things behind us and new things to be

      Am              C
In an old house on a hillside

G           Am   Am
Next to the sea
[Chorus 2]
G            Am             Fsus2    C
And when the sunshine comes down down

    G              Am
Our hair will turn gold

          Fsus2          C
And our skin will turn brown

    G          Am7             Fsus2  Am  Am  Am
And all of our friends will be ro-ound
