Mansion on the hill    (midi)

 

         G                 D               G

1. Tonight down here in the valley,

                                   C              G

    I'm lonesome and, oh, how I feel!

                          G7              C

    As I sit here alone in my cabin,

              G             D                      G

    I can see your mansion on the hill.

 

           G        D                   G

2. Do you recall when we parted,

                        C               G

    the story to me you revealed.

                                    G7               C

    You said you could live without love dear,

                 G             D                     G

    in your loveless mansion on the hill.

 

             G       D                      G

3. I've waited all through the years, dear,

                            C                    G

    to give you a heart true and real.

                                      G7         C

   `cause I know you`re living in sorrow

                 G             D                     G

    in your loveless mansion on the hill.

 

             G                 D                       G

4. The light shines bright from your window,

                                   C              G

    the trees stand so silent and still.

                            G7                     C

    I know you're alone with your pride, dear

                 G             D                     G

    in your loveless mansion on the hill.
