Verse 1

        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
      C   G7              C
I can see your mansion on the hill

Verse 2

       G7          C
Do you recall when we parted
    C7    F     C
The story to me you revealed
                   C7   F
You said you could live without love dear
        C        G7         C
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 are living in sorrow
        C        G7         C
In your loveless mansion on the hill

Verse 4

                 G7          C
The lights shine 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
