[E] [A]
[Em] [E] [A]
[E] Country boy from across the tracks, [G#m] too young to know the facts.
[A] Fell in love with a proper [F#m] girl, born into a [B] rich man's [F#m] world.
[E] Rebel [B] hearts will break [E] away,
[G#m] forbidden love will find [B] a way.
[A] Found a freedom in [F#m] the night, high [A] above the city
[E] lights.
[B] [E]
On [C#m] the hill, [B] [C#m]
they would [G#m] climb until the [A] world would seem so [E] far below, [B] the place they would feel.
On [G#]
[C#m] the hill, [B] [C#m]
way [G#m] up high on the hill, [A] the fire that started [E] then [B] is burning [E] still.
[F#m] [Em] [E] She spent her days behind the wall, [G#m] a relic of protocol.
[A] She shared her secrets with no [F#m]
one, waiting for [B] the light to come.
[E] Sometimes young and tender love, [G#m] who gives way to push and [A] shove.
Ashes of her family name, [F#m] is her very [A] best [E] afflinched flame.
[B] [E]
[C#m] On the hill, [B] [C#m]
they [G#m] would climb until the [A] world would seem [E] so far below, the [B] way they'd feel.
On
[G#] [C#m] the hill, [B] [C#m]
way [G#m] up high on the hill, [A] the fire that started [E] then is [B] burning [E] still.
[A] Now this lonely boy [B] don't [E] understand, [A] how his love was taken [B] from [E] his [A] hands.
Breaks his heart [B] when he [C#m] finds out, [G#m] [C#m] [A]
money is [E] what it's all about.
[F#m] And he's [C#m] left out [B] in the cold.
[E]
Sits alone on the hill at night, [G#m] staring out into the city lights.
[A] Takes a fur behind [F#m] those walls, how appeared they [B] had it all.
[E] Holds a memory of their love, [G#m] good something he can't let go of.
[A] Hoping that some night he'll [E] find, [F#m] she's gonna come to see [B] him one more [E] time.
On the [C#m] hill, [B] [C#m] they would [G#m] climb until the [A] world would seem so [E] far below, [B] the way they'd feel.
On [G#]
the [C#m] hill, [B] [C#m]
way up [G#m] high on the hill,
[A] the fire that started [E] then [F#m] is burning [E] still.
Yes the [A] boy that loves her [E] so, [B] waits [E] still.
[A] [E]
