Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Sev[Dm]en is[G]la[Dm]nds t[G]o t[Dm]he h[G]igh [Dm]side of [G]the bay,
'cross the bay
[Dm]To t[G]he sunset through the blue light
[Dm]of a[G] fiery aut[Dm]umn ha[G]ze
We went walking on the high side
of the bay on a chilly morn
[Dm]And [G]we saw how leaves had fallen on
the beds [Dm]where trees [G]were born[Bb]
Any man in his [G]right mind
could not [Bb]fail to be [C]made [G]aware
[Bb]Any woman with a gift of w[G]isdom would
not [Bb]seek her [C]an swers [G]there

[Verse 2]
[G]
Seven islands to the high side of
the bay if you're [F]looking [G]west
[Dm]To t[G]he sunset you can see it,
[Dm]all in f[G]iery aut[Dm]umn [G]dress
[Bb]Anytime would be the right[G] time to
come [Bb]up to your be[C]d of boughs
[G]Any[Bb]body with a wish to wande[G]r
could not [Bb]fail but to [C]be aroused

[Interlude 1]
[G][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Living high in the city,
guess you think it's a pretty good way
You get to learn but when you get burned
you got nothing to say
You seem to think because you got
chicken to go you're in luck
[Bb]Fortune will not [C]find you in [F]your mansion
or [Gm]your truck
[Bb]Brothers will [C]desert you when [F]you're down
and shit [G]out of luck

[Interlude 2]
[G][Dm]

[Verse 4]
Look around at the [Dm]morning,
guess you're doing the best you can
Surely you know that when you go
nobody gives you a hand
Think of the air you're breathing in,
think of the time you waste
Think of the right and wrong

[Verse 5]
and consider the frown on your face
[Bb]It's time you tried living on the high[G] side of the b[Bb]ay,
you [C]need [G]a rest
[Bb]Any woman or a man with a wish[G] to
fade [Bb]away [C]could be so [G]blessed
[Bb]Fortune will not find [C]you in
[F]your mansion turned [Gm]to gold[Bb]
Brothers will [C]desert you when
[F]your nights turn long and [Eb]cold
[F]If you feel

[Verse 6]
[Bb]it you bette[Eb]r believ[F]e it,
[Eb]you're gonna [Bb]see it, so [Eb]you really k[F]now
It [Bb]is rising like [F]a feather,
dipping [Bb]and dancing [Eb]from below
[F]The[Eb]re's a n[Bb]ew wave tha[Eb]t is bre[F]aking
[Eb]in t[Bb]he wake of a pa[Eb]ssing sh[F]ip
[Eb]Every na[Bb]tion's [Eb]gonna [F]be shaken,
[Eb]put it tog[Bb]ether, d[Eb]on't l[F]et it slip[Eb]

[Verse 7]
[Bb]It's time you tried living on the high[G] side of the b[Bb]ay,
you [C]need [G]a rest
[Bb]Any man or a woman with a wish[G] to
fade [Bb]away [C]could be so [G]blessed

[Interlude 3]
[G]
[Dm]Seven islands

[Verse 8]
[G]to the high side of the bay,
'cross the bay
[Dm]To t[G]he sunset th[Dm]rough th[G]e blue
light of a fiery au[Dm]tumn [G]haze
To the sunset [Dm]through [G]the blue light [Dm]of a [G]fiery autu[F]mn
[G]haze
