Lyrics
SCHOOLHOUSE HILL
by BILL BEACH
| B | | B | E | | B|
THEY LIVED ON SCHOOLHOUSE HILL
| B | | B | E | | B|
THEY MET OLD FIFTY-FOUR
| E | | E | A| | E|
ON THE STREETS OF HANNIBAL
| B | | B | E | | B|
HE SCARED THEM TO THE CORE
| F#|
ARE WE DREAMING OR AWAKE
| E|
IT'S ALL THE SAME HE CLAIMED
| F#|
YOU TRY BUT YOU CAN'T BREAK
| E | | F# |
YOUR TREASURED GOLDEN CHAINS
| B | | B | E | | B|
MARK TWAIN'S LATER YEARS
| B | | B | E | | B|
TRIED TO SOLVE THE MYSTERIES
| E | | E | A| | E|
OF OUR HOPES AND FEARS
| B | | B | E | | B|
THROUGH ALL OUR HISTORIES
| F#|
ARE WE DREAMING OR AWAKE
| E|
IT'S ALL THE SAME HE CLAIMED
| F#|
YOU TRY BUT YOU CAN'T BREAK
| E | | F# |
YOUR TREASURED GOLDEN CHAINS
| B | | B | E | | B|
HE WANTED TO BELIEVE
| B | | B | E | | B|
IN THE SPIRIT WORLD
| E | | E | A| | E|
BUT FRAUD AND TRICKERY
| B | | B | E | | B|
ALL AROUND HIM SWIRLED
| F#|
ARE WE DREAMING OR AWAKE
| E|
IT'S ALL THE SAME HE CLAIMED
| F#|
YOU TRY BUT YOU CAN'T BREAK
| E | | F# |
YOUR TREASURED GOLDEN CHAINS
| B | | B | E | | B|
BACK ON SCHOOLHOUSE HILL
| B | | B | E | | B|
THEY LEFT OLD FIFTY-FOUR
| E | | E | A| | E|
ON THE STREETS OF HANNIBAL
| B | | B | E | | B|
DON'T SHOW US ANYMORE
| F#|
ARE WE DREAMING OR AWAKE
| E|
IT'S ALL THE SAME HE CLAIMED
| F#|
YOU TRY BUT YOU CAN'T BREAK
| E | | F# |
YOUR TREASURED GOLDEN CHAINS
