A A4 A C#m   A A4 A G
A A4 A C#m E6   A A4 A C#m E

[Verse 1]
A                     A4  A   C#m  E6
 Feel myself falling to the ground
A                    A4     A  C#m  E
 Solitary silence, there's no sound
A                  A4 A  C#m  E6
 Open my eyes and look around
A                      A4   A  C#m  E
 Colours and concepts that confound
      D
All around

A
 The fragrance of
           A4 A C#m  E
 children everywhere
A                   A4 A   C#m  E6
 Slowly absorbed into my square
A
 Debating what is
      A4  A  C#m  E
 and isn't there
     D
Who cares

How to play View From A Hill: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for View From A Hill by The Chameleons on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

View From A Hill by The Chameleons keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 13 chords: A, A4, C#m, G, E6, E, D, D4, Am, G/A, F and Em and 1 more.

Most of the song cycles through A – A4 – A – C#m (I – Isus4 – I – iii in A major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – doh – mi. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, C#m, E6 and F need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
