Intro: D G D G D G D A7 D D G D Thereʼs a place out on the edge of town, sir, G D Risinʼ 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 daddyʼd take me and weʼd 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 Thereʼd be music playinʼ, people laughinʼ all the time Me and my sister, weʼd 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 rushinʼ by, home from the mill Thereʼs a beautiful full moon rising Above the mansion on the hill
