Chords with lyrics

Alabama 3
Mansion on the Hill
Based on the track from The Last Train To Mashville, Vol.2

This is a pretty slow choon on the album and there is some finger picking, hammering and
sliding but it’s all based on these chords I think so it’s a great one to improv on and
muck about with.

Intro

A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD

  A augmentedA
I hit the dance floor around about midnight
  C majorC                D MajorD
Gin and juice and I was feelin’ fine
 A augmentedA
Come the morning all the sounds went up
C majorC              D MajorD
Police man said the joint was shut
A augmentedA
All the brothers gettin' busted outside
C majorC              D MajorD
Undercover officers readin' them their rights
A augmentedA
It’s a one way ticket boys you’re prison bound
C majorC               D MajorD
The night the lights in Dallas went down

Chorus

So
A augmentedA
How long we gotta wait until
FF                D MajorD           A augmentedA
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
A augmentedA
How long we gotta waste our time
FF                D MajorD             A augmentedA
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line

A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD
A augmentedA
She shakes the blues off then she tries her luck
C majorC                    D MajorD
Makes a little bet, hopes her horse comes up
A augmentedA
She’s pickin' pockets for some easy money
C majorC                  D MajorD
Blew the damn lot on the lottery
A augmentedA
She steals a paper, checks the front page
C majorC                 D MajorD
Headlines read the dancehall can't be saved
A augmentedA
How can they open up an opera house
C majorC                D MajorD
The night the lights in Dallas went down

Chorus

So
A augmentedA
How long we gotta wait until
FF                D MajorD           A augmentedA
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
A augmentedA
How long we gotta waste our time
FF               D MajorD               A augmentedA
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line

Columbian connections in the corridors of power

Mean the man on the money ain't ever goin' down

Little taste or two thinks he's bullet proof

Tony tunes the underground radio
C majorC                  D MajorD
On the night the lights in Dallas went down
