Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
D#m7 B C#
I was chasing my Teresa around the tree
F#
We were kicking precious stones
B
Sinking ships and swimming home
D#m7 B C#
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes

Well my father built a mansion on the mountain

My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow

She said The weather's never failed
B
The wind can only blow your hair
D#m7 B C#
And I believed her well enough but didn't care

Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
D#m7 B C#
My Teresa threw me kisses through the core
F#
We read the writing on the wall
B
Braced each other for the fall

There's only one way off the mountain after all

Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
D#m7 B C#
It was me and my Teresa against the world
F#
We took all the river had to give
B
Broke the bed and bought a grill
D#m7 B C#
But left the mountain mansion nothing to forget
