C            G7          C
Tonight down here in the valley
             C7     F     C
I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
                    C7    F
As I sit here alone in my cabin

I can see your mansion on the hill

Verse 2

              G7      C
Do you recall when we parted

The story to me you revealed
                        C7           F
You said you could live without love dear

In your loveless mansion on the hill

Verse 3

                G7                C
I've waited all through the years love
        C7    F              C
To give you a heart true and real
                    C7        F
Cause I know you're living in sorrow
        C        G7             C
In your loveless mansion on the hill

Verse 4

                 G7               C
The light shines bright from your window
          C7       F          C
The trees stand so silent and still
                    C7              F
I know you're alone with your pride dear
        C        G7             C
In your loveless mansion on the hill
