Paul Simon - On The Side Of A Hill
Album - The Paul Simon Songbook
[Vers 1]
Em D G D
On the side of a hill in a land called "Somewhere"
G A7 D
A little boy lies asleep in the earth
Bm A G D F#m
While down in the valley a cruel war rages
G D G A Bm D G D Em
And people forget what a child's life is worth
[Vers 2]
Em D G D
On the side of a hill, a little cloud weeps
G A7 D
And waters the grave with its silent tears
Bm A G D F#m
While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun
Em D G A Bm G D Em
That ended a life at the age of seven years
[Vers 3]
Em D G D
And the war rages on in the land called "Somewhere"
G A7 D
And generals order their men to kill
Bm A G D F#m
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
Em D G A13 D G D G A7 D
While the little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
