Miss Montreal - House Upon The Hill
This song sounds great on a steel string guitar with some palm muting on the strumming hand.
The original is played with a Capo on the 5th fret.
As for the left hand: this song sounds great with a lot of pull-off's and hammer-on's. The original is played
with two guitars but you can come pretty close with just one guitar.

[Verse 1]
G D Em7
From the house upon the hill
Cmaj G
all is still
D
in this battle of wills
G D Em7
'Cause you don't know how I feel
Cmaj G
upon this ferris wheel
D
This trip isn't real
[Chorus]
G
And we'll never forget who we are
D
Old tattoos, our battle scars
Em
Still have a heart that sometimes breaks
C
Still have a mind that lies awake
G
Still end up six feet under ground
D
Still the same world spinning 'round
Em
I watch it all as I stand still
C
from the house, the house upon the hill
G D Em7 Cmaj G D
[Verse 2]
G D Em7
Like a star upon a tree
Cmaj G
that's who we'll we be

on new year's streets
G D Em7
When I fall I fall so hard
Cmaj G
like old good shooting stars
D
that make it this far
[Chorus]
G
And we'll never forget who we are
D
Old tattoos, our battle scars
Em
Still have a heart that sometimes breaks
C
Still have a mind that lies awake

Still end up six feet under ground
D
Still the same world spinning 'round
Em
I watch it all as I stand still
C
from the house, the house upon the hill
