House On G Hill – Kasey Chambers, 2015
Capo 2nd Fret
Verse 1:
D A G D
There’s a house on a hill, with a cracked window sill
G D A D A
And a roof caving into the ground, and it’s old and it’s worn
G D G A D
And the curtains are torn, and tomorrow they’re tearing it down
Chorus:
D A D G
And just like a heart, it’s falling apart
D G A
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew
D A D G
And it's been through it all, and there’s cracks in the wall
D A D
They may as well just take me down too
Verse 2:
D A G D
There's a house on a hill when the night has been still
G D A
You can hear the years creak in the floor
D A G D
And for the broken down stair, you better say your last prayer

Cos tomorrow it won't be there no more
Chorus:
D A D G
And just like a heart, it’s falling apart

They may as well just take me down to

No one's gonna oil up the rust in the door

I guess I should have known
D A D
That a house ain't always a home
