Half Mile Hill, (C) (C*7) eight years (C)old (C*7)
Standin' on (C)top (C*7) with world (C) below (C*7)
(F)Me and my dad talkin' (C) man to (C*7)man (C) (C*7)
Suitcase (C)packed, (C*7) he was movin' (C)out (C*7)

(F) I have them still upon (C)Half Mile (C*7)Hill (C)
(Chorus)
You can see the (F)ball fields, watch the cars go 'round the court-(C)house (Bm)
See the sun (Am) go down (G)
Where the street (F) lamps glow on those checkerboard roads

She was (C*7)wildcat (C)tough, I was (C*7)scarecrow thin (C) (C*7)
We were thick as (C)thieves (C*7) 'til the bitter (C)end (C*7)
(F) Tryin' to make time stand still up on (C)Half Mile (C*7)Hill (C)
(Chorus)
You can see the (F)ball fields, watch the cars go 'round the court-(C)house (Bm)
See the sun (Am) go down (G)
Where the street (F) lamps glow on those checkerboard roads
Wishin' (C)I could fly (Bm) like a (Am)cut-string kite (G)
(F)Tappin' on the floor of hea-(G)-ven, (F) is anybody listen-(G)-in'
(Bridge)
Hey all, you (F)lovers and leavers, stuck in-betweeners, (G)loners and stoners, old drunks and dreamers
(F)Rumbling and stumblin' always looking for something, (G)past that no trespassin' sign
(Chorus)
You can see the (F)ball fields, watch the cars go 'round the court-(C)house (Bm)
See the sun (Am) go down (G)
Where the street (F) lamps glow on those checkerboard roads
Wishin' (C)I could fly (Bm) like a (Am)cut-string kite (G)
(F)Tappin' on the floor of hea-(G)-ven, (F) tappin' on the floor of hea-(G)-ven
(Tag)
(F) Is anybody listenin' (G) (Is anybody listenin') up on Half Mile (F) Hill (G)
Is anybody (F) listenin' (G) (Is anybody listenin')
