Mansion On The Hill

D   G   D   G   D   G   D   A7   D

[Verse 1]
 D                   G             D
There's a place out on the edge of town, sir,
                  G              D
Risin' above the factories and the fields
      G                                D
Now, ever since I was a child, I can remember
     A7             D
That mansion on the hill

[Verse 2]
D                   G                D
In the day you can see the children playing
        G                                         D
On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel
       G                              D
Steel gates that completely surround, sir,
    A7             D
The mansion on the hill

[Verse 3]
D                   G                D
At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride
            G                               D
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
          G                           D
Park on a back road along the highway side
                A7             D
Look up at that mansion on the hill

[Verse 4]
D                     G            D
In the summer all the lights would shine
                 G                                D
There'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time
           G                                 D
Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields
                      A7             D
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

[Verse 5]
D              G            D
Tonight down here in Linden Town
             G                             D
I watch the cars rushin' by, home from the mill
          G                     D
There's a beautiful full moon rising
          A7             D
Above the mansion on the hill
