Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F]
[C][F][C][F][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
There's [C]a place
out on the edge of town, sir
Risin' above [F]the factories and [C]fields
Now ever since [F]I was a child
I can [C]remember
[G]That mansion on the [C]hill
In the day you [F]can see the children playing
[C]On a road that leads to those
[F]gates of hardened [C]steel
Steel [F]gates that completely surround,
[C]sir
That [G]mansion on the hill
[C]

[Verse 2]
At night my daddy [F]take me
and we'd [C]ride
Through the streets of [F]a town
so silent [C]and still
Park on a [F]back road along
the highway signs, [C]sir
[G]Look up at the mansion on

[Interlude 1]
the hill
[C][F][C][F]
[C][G][F][C]

[Verse 3]
In [C]the summer [F]all the lights
[C]would shine
There'd be music playin'
people [F]make all [C]the time
Me and [F]my brother we'd lie
down in the tall corn[C]fields, sir
Sit [G]and listen to the mansion
on the hill
[C]

[Verse 4]
Tonight I'm [F]here in Linden [C]Town
I watch the cars rushin' [F]by
home from [C]the mill
There's a [F]beautiful full moon [C]rising
[G]Above the mansion on the hill

[Outro 1]
