Pete Townshend - There's A Fortune In Those Hills Lyrics
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
The wind was quietly whistling
As he told me of his joy
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
Picked up his steel string guitar
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"
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
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
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
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
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

Pete Townshend There's A Fortune In Those Hills Comments
This song was supposedly recorded by The Who in 1970 for the never released LP or mini album after "Tommy", containing "Water", "Postcard", "Naked Eye", "Heaven & Hell", "I Don't Even Know Myself", "Now I am a Farmer", "Here for More" and "The Seeker".
There's a reason I love the music composed by Pete Townshend and The Who, and this is part of it. Love the sound of the guitar, the progression and the lyrical content.
