Intro : Dm / / / / Dm6 / / / / Bb / / / / A / / A+ / /
Dm Dm6
I live in the shadow of a hill
Bb A A+
A hill of little shoes
Dm Dm6
I love but I shiver with a chill
Bb Dbma7+5/A Bbm/A A+ A
A chill I never lose
Bbma7 Dm Bbma7 Dm
I live, I love, but where are they?
Bbma7 Dm
Where are their lives, their loves?
Bbma7 A7
All blown away
Dm Dm6 Dbma7+5/A Bbm/A A+ A
And every little shoe's a foot that never grew another day
D
If you could find a pair
G
And put them on the floor
D
Make a mark in the air
G
Like the marks beside your door
D A
When you were growing
Em Em7 D
You'd see how tall they were
D
And the buckles and the laces
G
They could do up on their own
D
Or almost could
G
With their tongue tips barely showing
D Em Em7 D
Tell you how small they were
Em
And then you think of little faces
A+4 A
Looking fearfully alone
D G
And how they stood
Em A+4 A
In their bare feet being tall for the last time
D G
Just to be good
Ebma7 G
And that was all they were
Ebma7 Dm7 Cm7
They were like you in the same year
Bbma7 Am7 Bbma7
But you grew up
Ebma7 Dm7
They were scarcely even here
Cm7 Bbma7
Before they suddenly weren't there
Cm7 Bbma7
And while you got dressed for bed
Am7 Bbma7
They did the same but they were led
Am7 Ebma7 D
Into another room instead

Dm Dm6
I live in the shadow of a hill
Bb A A+
A hill of little shoes
Dm Dm6
I love, but I shiver with a chill
Bb A A+
A chill I never lose
Bbma7 Dm
And I caught this cold
Bbma7 A
When I was chosen to grow old
Dm Dm6
In the shadow of a hill of little shoes
