Mansion On The Hill Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[B]There's a place out [E]on the edge of [B]town sir
Risin' a[E]bove the factories and [B]fields
Now ever s[E]ince I was a child I can [B]remember
That [F#7]mansion on the [B]hill
[B]In the day you can [E]see the children [B]playing
On a [E]road that leads to those gates of hardened s[B]teel
Steel [E]gates that completely surro[B]und sir
That [F#]mansion on the [B]hill
[B]At night my daddy'd [E]take me and we'd [B]ride
Through the streets of a [E]town so silent and [B]still
Park on a [E]back road along the highway s[B]igns sir
Look [F#]up at the mansion on the h[B]ill

[B]In the summer a[E]ll the lights would [B]shine
There'd be music [E]playin people laughin all the [B]time
Me and my [E]brother we'd lie down in the tall cornf[B]ields sir
[F#7]Sit and listen to the mansion on the h[B]ill
[B]Tonight down [E]here in Linden [B]Town
I watch the [E]cars rushin' by home from the [B]mill
There's a [E]beautiful full moon [B]rising
A[F#7]bove the mansion on the [B]hill [F#7] [B]
