Mansion on the Hill

Intro: D G D G D G D A7 D 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 In the day you can see the children playing On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel Steel gates that completely surround, sir, The mansion on the hill At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride Through the streets of a town so silent and still Park on a back road along the highway side Look up at that mansion on the hill In the summer all the lights would shine There'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill Tonight down here in Linden Town I watch the cars rushin' by, home from the mill There's a beautiful full moon rising Above the mansion on the hill %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Pete Palmer (ppalmer@cray.com) --------------------------------------------------------------- They may say those were the days, but in a way, y'know, For us these are the days - Yeah, for us these are the days ...
