 D                    G             D
There's a place out on the edge of town, sir,
                  G                 D
Risin' 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 daddy'd take me and we'd 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
There'd be music playing,
people laughing all the time
Me and my sister, we'd 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 rushing by, far from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising
Above the mansion on the hill
