[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
