Verse 1:
Gbm                       A
  You wanted me gone, so I vanished
B                             Bm
  Gave you what you wanted, you have it
Gbm                               A
  Enjoy and reap the reward of my absence
                                    B
  And when you come searchin', I'll still
   Bm                                         Gbm
Be nothing more than just a silhouette on the hill
                                       A
In the setting of the sunlight, you're blinded
B                               Bm
  Stevie cast a spell that's still bindin'
Gbm                                     A
  That you could never get away from my likeness
                                        B
And now that you've come searchin', I'm still
  Gmaj7                                    Gbm
Nothing more than just a silhouette on the hill

Chorus:
                        A
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        Bm
I'm a silhouette on the hill
Gbm                       A
  I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        Bm (nc)
I'm a silhouette on the hill

Verse 2:
Gbm                         A
  It's driven many better men crazy
    B                            Bm
The hunger for forgiveness for crimes
Gbm                             A
  Did you hear the legends that they speak
     B                            Gmaj7
Of a rider with a horse just like mine?
Gbm                                A
  There was a time I would have gone hunting
B                                Bm
  For the blood of an already dead man
Gbm                    A
  Just to have the satisfaction
              B                  Gmaj7
That when you died, it was by my hand

Chorus:
Gbm                       A
  I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        Bm
I'm a silhouette on the hill
Gbm                       A
  I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                        Gmaj7
I'm a silhouette on the hill

Bridge:
Gbm (nc)                      A (nc)
Son, do you know what you've done?
                       B (nc)
Been several years and some
                      Bm (nc)                       Gbm (nc)
There's nothing I can gain hearin' the words of a dead man
             A (nc)
Don't want a part
                   B (nc)
Of your redemption arc
                  Gmaj7 (nc)                  Gbm
I can't hurry the stars no matter how you extend hands
          A
Would you cease
                       B
Your trite forgiveness pleas?
             Bm                            Gbm
I'm not a deity, don't have the power to send back
                    A
What's done by your hand
                        B
My blood mixed with the sand
                     Gmaj7                        Gbm
And I limped out the desert, tell me, did you intend that?

Chorus:
                        A
I'm a silhouette on the hill (Son, do you know what you've done?)
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill (Been several years and some)
                        Bm
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                                                     Gbm
(There's nothing I can gain hearin' the words of a dead man)
                        A
I'm a silhouette on the hill (Don't want a part)
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill (Of your redemption arc)
                        Gmaj7
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                                               Gbm
(I can't hurry the stars no matter how you extend hands)
                        A
I'm a silhouette on the hill (Would you cease)
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill (Of your trite forgiveness pleas?)
                        Bm
I'm a silhouette on the hill
                                            Gbm
(I'm not a deity, don't have the power to send back)
                        A
I'm a silhouette on the hill (What's done by your hand)
                        B
I'm a silhouette on the hill (My blood mixed with the sand)
                        Gmaj7
I'm a silhouette on the hill
