Verse 1

      A          E/G#        Am        D
We're building a home on the side of a mountain
 C        Bm      A           B
Above the clouds, next to the sky
    A         E/G#        Am            D
And after our labours the stars will be neighbours
      C        Bm    A            B
We'll take our place with them in space

Bridge 1

      Cadd9                 Am7
We're not using concrete or plaster or wood -
       G                     D/F#
They'd lower the tone of our new neighbourhood
    Cadd9                    Am7
And mortar will crumble with age and neglect
      G                      D/F#
We're building our home upon love and respect

Chorus

Cadd9                   C/B   Am7       D7sus2  Cadd9
And when we've built it we'll call it Andromeda Heights
                    C/B   Am7       D7sus2  Cadd9
When we've built it we'll call it Andromeda Heights
                    C/B   Am7       D7sus2  G            F#m  B
When we've built it we'll call it Andromeda Heights

Verse 2

      A          E/G#        Am        D
We're building a home on the side of a mountain
C         Bm      A           B
Above the clouds, next to the sky
    A         E/G#          Am           D
Our plans are ambitious - a blueprint of wishes
     C         Bm   A             B
That will come true and when they do

Bridge 2

Cadd9                    Am7
Folks in the valley will look up and say
        G                    D/F#
"You've finally built it can we come and stay?"
    Cadd9                  Am7
And cynics will marvel and say "we confess -
           G                            D/F#
There were times when we thought it was just an address!

Chorus

    Cadd9                C/B  Am7         D7sus2  Cadd9
But now that we've seen it we know it's Andromeda Heights
                C/B  Am7         D7sus2  Cadd9
Now we've seen it we know it's Andromeda Heights
                C/B  Am7         D7sus2  G            F#m  B
Now we've seen it we know it's Andromeda Heights."
