Signal Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I me[Am]t her in Long Beach bar,
[G]full [Am]of drunk old men, she said,
you look like a nice boy
and I'm looking for a friend,
[D]cause I got a bottle in my purse,
I got some time to [Am]kill
[D]And I can sho[E]w you a goo[Em]d time,
[C]up [D]on top of Signal Hil[Am]l[D][Am]
Well I was just 23 and [Em]she was twice
[Am]that as far as I could tell
But I drove her up the dark roads
past the old oil wells
[D]When she put her hand on mine,
I admit I felt a [Am]little thrilled[D][Am]
So I parked the [E]car up in [Em]the [D]weeds,
[Am]at the top of Signal Hill
[D]
[Am][E][Em][D]
[Am]
[C]Wel[Am]l, those things will kill you, she said,
reaching for my cigarette,
[C]and she took a lon[Am]g slow drag
[Em]until [Am]the filter was warm [D]and wet
Then she pulled her bottle out and said
This will help ward off the chick[Am]en
And we drank that [Em]bottle [E]dry[Em]
[Am]Real slow up on Signal Hill
She said I used to dance in Vegas
Trust me honey it's true
[D]I knew all the cops a[Am]nd entertainers,
and even a senator or [D]two
And if I could have stayed out of trouble,
you know I'd be there [Am]still
Instead of [D]sitting in some [E]stranger's car
[D]on the top of Signal [Am]Hill

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Well, after she passed out,
I just stared down at the city lights
And thought of all the dreams
and broken hearts lost in the night
[D]And I listened to her breathing,
soft and sweet like a [Am]child
[A]until [Am]the sun rose c[E]old and [D]lonely
on the top of Signal [Am]Hill[D][Am][A][Am]
[A]
[Am][A]
[Am][A][Am]
[A][Am]
You
