Introdução: Fdim F#7 Bm5-/7 Fdim E7 A7   
 
D       B7 Em7              G/B Edim A7 D        B7   Em7    Edim 
Someday,       we'll build a home on  a  hilltop high, you and I 
D          B7    Em7         A7/13-      D   B7   G 
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill 
             Gdim            D        B7  G 
And we'll be pleased to be called 
              A7   Em7 A7   D    B7  G A7 
The folks who live on the hill 
D       B7 Em7         G/B Edim A7      D  B7   Em7    Edim 
Someday,        we may add  a wing or two,  a thing or two 
   D          B7     Em7        A7/13-     D   B7   G 
We will make changes,    as any family will 
            Gdim         D     B7  G 
But we will always be called 
               A7    Em7   A7    D 
The folks who live on the hill 
Bridge 
F#m7    Fdim   Bm7    Fdim    F#m7    Fdim     F#m7 
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green 
    Fdim      F#7      Bm5-/7    Fdim  E7     A7   
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen 
A7  Em7      A7       G/B A7/13-  D       B7  G 
And when the kids grow up and leave us 
              G/B  Edim  A7    D        B7   Em7        Edim 
We'll sit and look at that same old view,    just we two 
D        B7   Em7    G/B A7/13-    D        B7   G 
Baby and Joe,    who used to be Jack and Jill 
              Gdim         D    B7  G 
The folks who like to be called  
               A7            F#7    B7  Em7 
What they have always been called 
    B7/13-    Em7 Edim A7 D 
The folks who live on the hill
