(intro) G4

G4                 Em            Am7     F            G
When I am older than these small goddamned hills
G                             Em       Am7    F       G
And there's no reason for my mind to be still

C11        G             G7      A7
Oh, how I'll feel like a beautiful child
       Am7           F       G
Such a beautiful child again
           A7
Such a beautiful child
       Am7           F       G
Such a beautiful child again

G                          Em          Am7    F               G
When I have finally found my room filled with toys
G                      Em     Am7        F
Be banging on my crib excited with

C11        G
Oh, how I'll feel
C11        G
Oh, how I'll feel
C11        G
Oh, how I'll feel
G7        A7
like a beautiful child
          Am7          F       G
Such a beautiful child again
           A7
Such a beautiful child
       Am7           F       G
Such a beautiful child again

(solo) G  Em  Am7  F  G

G                            G7
And when there's nothing to gain
   C        G/B   Am7     C11
Or bring  me  pain
   G       Em
or pin the blame
Em7M    Am7    F           G
On     you   or   myself

G                       G7
And when they finally fall
      C   G/B  Am     C11
These wailing walls
      G        Em    Em7M
and burdened crosses
Am7      F
God's twilight

C11        G
Oh, how I'll feel
C11        G
Oh, how I'll feel
C11        G
Oh, how I'll feel
G7        A7
like a beautiful child
          Am7          F       G
Such a beautiful child again
       A7
Such a beautiful child
       Am7           F       G
Such a beautiful child again
          A7
Such a beautiful child
       Am7           F       G
Such a beautiful child again

G                     Em            Am7     F            G
When I am older than these small goddamned hills
