I'm only going to the top of the hill.

On a mission to a big old world.
But get me on the ride alone.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I don't [E] like to be on the ride alone.
_ _ _ I have a little more of my voice.
_ I may only ride a little more.
On the top of the hill. _
I'm only going to the top of the hill. _
_ You know the corn had a wildflower there.
The bird keep singing this after you're dead.
_ On a mission to a big old world.
We can have a little chat about the bird.
_ _ But get me on the ride alone.
_ Stop and get me on the ride alone.
_ [G] Stop and get me on the [Gm] ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the [E] hill.
I'm [D] only going to the top of the hill. _
_ I like the music.
I can't stop the feeling.
It's like I'm a little girl on a fence.
_ Dig a little deep in me. _
_ I don't expect my tootie to leave me sometime.
_ Stop and get me on the ride [E] alone.
_ Stop and get me on the ride alone.
[D] _ Stop and get me on the ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the hill. _
I'm only going _ _ _ _ _ _ to the top of the hill. _ _
_ There's a pebbly little beauty way. _
I'm hanging a [G] mattress on the green [D] way.
The moon rises over yonder street.
I step to see you [Gm] sit and I egg the [Dm] taste of meat.
I've older, I've burned out seven again. _
[D] I'll never run up a seven again. _
[E] I need the bed and I'll pour you a wine. _
But on the bed there's underarms that's flying off.
Stop and get me on the ride [D] alone. _
Stop and get me on the ride alone. _ _
Stop and get me _ _ on the ride alone.
_ I'm only going _ _ _ to the top of the hill. _ _
I'm only going to the top of the hill. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm a little [Gm] _ candy [E] and sugar.
[Bb] _
Six [Dm] times sugar.
_ [G] _ [D] _
Only to smile upon.
A red river and [E] candy monsters.
[A] _
47 [G] mules to pull [D] this train.
You get [E] married in the orange rain.
You need the differential money of birth.
You load the wagon to the end of the world.
[D] _
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
[E] _
Stop and get me on the ride alone. _
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
I'm only going _ _ _ to _ _ the top of the hill.
_ I'm only going to the top of the hill. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ I'm only going to _ _ [G] the top _ [E] _ of the _ hill.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] What's it gonna be [G] to be [Bb] somebody of born?
[D] _ [B]
A golden god or whatever you [E] are.
Be empowered to my good me.
_ To roll over and see me see.
_ [Gm] Stop and get [D] me on the ride alone.
_ Stop and get me on the ride alone. _
Stop and get me on the ride alone. _ _ _
I'm only going _ _ _ to the top of the hill.
