I'm not going to claim this exactly as James Walsh play's it, but it sounds OK when I do.
It's nice easy chords and sounds good with or without a capo ,try it on the 1st or 2nd fret if you want
it's up you. Oh and if you can't finger pick it can still sound nice if you strum.
G    Em
GI am the one who lives there in that house upon the hill's side, Emeverybody knows
GYou say you'd all live there somewhere in the future, bEmut nobody goes
Yes you Amwish you Emwere up Chere and I Amwish I Emwas down Cthere
We go noEmwhere
GI feel small and isolated, you feel like the walls are caving Emin around your soul
GMy open space is desolated; your busy life's so complicated, EmWe are losing control
Yes you Amwish you Emwere up Chere and I Amwish I Emwas down Cthere
We go... Ghome Somebody Amhears
I Emcan't see across this black river in cold light of Cwinter
GNow, I see it so Amclear
BEmeing surrounded by beauty it plays on my Cfears, it plays on my Emfears
GLike the leaves on the evergreen nothing ever change for me, Emone week to the next
GEveryday a new decision down there on your silent mission, Emeasy to forget
That I Amwish I Emwas down Cthere and you AMwish you Emwere up Chere
We go... Ghome Somebody Amhears
I Emcan't see across this black river in cold light of Cwinter
And Gnow I see it so Amclear
BEmeing surrounded by beauty it plays on my Cfears, it plays on my Emfears.
