There's A Fortune In Those Hills (Demo)
(1971 Recording From The 2023 Box Set Who's Next: Life House - Super Deluxe Edition)
Intro
Verse 1
I Walk Past The Old Veranda
Where Grandad Sat Rocking
He Was Gazing At The Mountains
And He Didn't Hear Me Knocking
He Smiled As I Approached Him
Said, "How's My Sally's Boy?"
The Wind Was Quietly Whistling
As He Told Me Of His Joy
Chorus
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find It Some Day
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find, It's Gonna Be Mine
I'm Gonna Find It Some Way
Verse 2
Picked Up His Steel String Guitar
And Started The Upward Climb
I Just Quietly Followed
Carrying The Bread And The Wine
We Reached A Stone And Sat Awhile
Grandad Wiped My Brow
He Looked At Me Like A Brother
Said, "Boy, It Ain't Far Now?"
Chorus
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find It Some Day
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find, It's Gonna Be Mine
I'm Gonna Find It Some Way
Bridge
There's A Fortune In That Cabin
And Granddad Knows Too Well
There's A Man In There With Long Black Hair
There's A Man You'll Never Sell
Verse 3
Reached And Pushed The Door
Pretending We've Done Right
The Face I Saw In There
I'll Remember All My Life
Gripped By Cool Attraction
Followed Where Granddad Stepped
When I Walked Inside
Just Rats And Rust Were Left
Chorus
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find It Some Day
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
I'm Gonna Find, It's Gonna Be Mine
I'm Gonna Find It Some Day
Interlude
Chorus
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find It Some Day
There's A Fortune In Those Hills
And I'm Gonna Find, It's Gonna Be Mine
I'm Gonna Find It Some Way
