[Verse 1]
Well, I [Am]live on a ridgetop
[Dm]And, Lord knows, [Am]I like it just fine
Where it's [Dm]windy and foggy
And quiet most [Am]all the time
Yeah, my [Dm]lawn is pine needles
And my driveway is old [Am]funky dirt
And my [F]front path[G]way markers
[F]Are pieces [E]of granite and che[Am]rt
Now, my taxes are high
[Dm]But I don't believe it's a sin[Am]
I've got hun[Dm]dred foot pine trees
That just love [Am]to dance in the wind
And [Dm]a yard full of bushes
That turn into [Am]pie in July
[Dm]Between [F]blue jays and [G]hoot owls
I've got [F]twenty-four [E]hour
hour singing [Am]sky
Now, when I built my house
I cut [Dm]six trees [Am]to clear out the land
But there's [Dm]thirty or more left
And you know that they're [Am]gonna stand
It's a squir[Dm]rel sanctuary
They think this [Am]woods is their home
And as [F]long as I'm [G]here
I'll make [F]sure [E]people leave us all [Am]alone[E][Bm][E]
[Bm][E][Esus4][E][Bm][E]
[Bm][G][A][G][F#][Bm]
Yes, the hill that I live on is [E]steep
And the road's full of [Bm]ruts
And the [E]people who live in
[Esus4]the flatlands[E]
Think [Em]we folks[Bm] are nuts
But the ruts [Em]in my [E]road and the curves
Keep the tourists [Bm]at bay
And it's lone[G]some and peace[Am]ful
And [G]you know I [F#m]like it t[C#m]hat wa[Bm]y
Now, [F#m]I work[Bm] in the city
[E]I think my job is a g[Bm]as
And I know [E]it's [Em]good for me
[E]To travel and get off my [Bm]ass
But the very [Em]best part of [E]each [Esus4]trip[E]
Is the Golden Gate [Bm]Bridge
And the [G]road like a snake
[A]That wil[G]l lead me back hom[F#m]e to m[Bm]y ridg[Am]e[D][Am]

Ah, ridgetop
