A Good Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]High on the hill overlook
[F]ing the town
There's a [C]house as big [Em]as a dream
[G]And it throws a long shadow
when the [F]sun goes down
Remind[C]ing the [Em]town folk
of Mr. [G]McLean
George J. McLean was a
[F]man born to money
He [C]bought and he sold
and he [Em]fought back again
[G]Wars and recessions
just [F]made him all wealthy
[Em]Whatever [C]he wanted
he got in the [G]end
[Em]Then came the day he
met [F]Bethany Carter
She [C]had more surprises
than a Swiss Army knife
[G]Onl[Em]y nineteen,
but [F]she knew what she wanted
And [D]pretty soon George found he wanted
a [G]wife[Gsus4][G][C][G]
[F][C][Em]
[G]The wedding dress came
from a Par[F]is designer
The Prime [C]Minister sat [Em]in
the very front [G]row
The Herald, the Agent, the [F]Courier Mail
[C]All [Em]sent reporters to cover the [G]show
The honeymoon took them
[F]to New York and London
It [Em]was t[C]welve months
[Em]till [C]their feet touched [Em]the [G]ground
Then building began on
[F]the George McLean Mansion
[C]High on the hill overlook
[Em]ing [C]the [Em]town[G]
[Em]Nev er before had [F]George
been so happy
While [C]Bethany bloomed
like a rose in the [G]sun
The [Em]house was completed in
[F]time for the christening
Of [D]Winston McLean, George and Bethany's son
[Eb][Bb][Ab][Eb][Ab]
[Eb][Fm][D][Dsus4][D]
[G]Five perfect years,
saw the house overflowing
Three sons [C]and three daughters
to fill every [G]room
Bethany the girl turned in
[F]to Beth the woman
And [Em]George and his forties
was over the [G]moon
Each passing decade
saw more fame and [F]fortune
No ru[C]mors or scandals to be ashamed [G]of
The children excelled in their
[F]chosen professions
While [C]George and Beth
grew ever [Em]deep[C]er in [G]love
But [Em]like every story,
each [F]life has an ending
At [C]73, George's turn came around
[G]Bet[Em]h lived to see her great
[F]-grandchildren married
[D]High on a hill overlooking the town
[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G][C]
[G]Such a good life,
[F]suc[G]h a[Em] goo[C]d li[Em]fe[C][G]
[C]
[G]Such a good life,
[F]suc[C]h a g[G]ood life[G]
