Yelverton Hill

G                                                           Am
A ring is an awful thing when it comes in the middle of the night
                                 C
and the voice on the other end’s crying
G                                             Am
Anger’s an enemy when the flesh turns to memories
                C                     G
up on the mantelpiece frozen in silver

[Verse 2]

G                                      Am
I weigh 138, but I’d like to lose more weight
                           C                              G
but there’s no time to celebrate — I will when I choose to
G                                                Am
I’ve told a million lies, some of them I’ve told twice
                             C                               G
and some of them aren’t very nice and they might surprise you

[Interlude]

G X 16

[Verse 3]

G                                                           Am
A ring is an awful thing when it comes in the middle of the night
                                 C
and the voice on the other end’s crying
G                                              Am
I’d like to get a spade, I’d clear all the ice away
                            C                         G
and I’d take down Yelverton Hill where it stands still
