v1
CG
They say my final masterpiece
FC
Was this house on the hill
GD
High above the great and mighty river
CG
My hand could not hold the brushes
FC
Yes, I guess I lost my will
CGD
And you can't keep painting paradise forever
C
Oh forever
(Fill)
------
v2
CG
>From the Andes to Niagara
FC
To where we stand today
GD
I drew the great creations of my Master
CG
'til the oil and the canvas
FC
Lord, I threw them all away
CGD
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:__
CG
Winter wind blows and the river lies frozen at my feet
(I traded them all for you)
CG
Springtime come and the river wanna run above the street

v3
CG
She came to me one night
FC
While I was tossing in my dreams
GD
She said she'd give my family protection
CG
I recall the night I died
FC
Beneath her arches and her beams
GD
I thanked her for the shelter and direction
C
I was lost until Olana
__This part is sung in conjunction with the fill:__
CG
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
------
FAm
Oh, I've been from Jerusalem to Rome
FAm
Now I'm floating through these rooms tonight alone
F
And looking back on everything
CDC
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
