Verse 1:
    C majorC        FF       C majorC
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
   A minorAm      FF       G+G
I was chasing my Teresa 'round a tree
    C majorC                 FF
We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home
   A minorAm       FF          G+G
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes

Verse 2:
    C majorC        FF       C majorC
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
   A minorAm       FF       G+G
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow
        C majorC                  FF
She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"
     A minorAm       FF        G+G
And I believed her well enough or didn't care


Bridge:
    E minorEm       Dmaj7Dmaj7
Everyone knows and they don't know
E minorEm           Dmaj7Dmaj7
Chandelier light ain't love
    E minorEm       Dmaj7Dmaj7
It just watches as the time goes
 A#A#               DmDm  E minorEm  FF
Across the marble floor, out the old mill door
   DmDm    E minorEm   FF        G+G
Even rain can hear it running off the road


Interlude:
C majorC  FF C majorC
A minorAm FF G+G

Verse 3:
    C majorC        FF       C majorC
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
   A minorAm       FF         G+G
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold
      C majorC                FF
We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall
        A minorAm       FF      G+G
There's only one way or the mountain after all


Verse 4:
    C majorC        FF       C majorC
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
    A minorAm      FF        G+G
It was me and my Teresa against the world
        C majorC               FF
We took all the river had to give, broke the bed and bought a crib
         A minorAm      FF      G+G
But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forget
