E
Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city,
the way I feel is a doggone pity.
A
Teardrops fallin' down the mountainside.
 E
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried.
   B                      A
We used to be so happy, when we were in love.
 E         B           E
High on a mountain of love.

Night after night I'm a-standing here alone
Weeping out my heart till the cold grey dawn
Praying that you're lonely and you'll come here too
Hoping just by chance that
I'll get a glimpse of you
(Oh yeah!)
Trying hard to find you somewhere up above
High on a mountain of love

Chorus:
     A                     G#m7              A
The mountain of love, the mountain of love, you
          B
should be ashamed.
    A            G#m7                  A
You used to be a mountain of love, but you
                   B
just changed your name.

Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside the church, there's an altar filled
with flowers
Wedding bells are ringing and they should've
 been ours
That's why I'm so handy, my dream is gone above
High on a mountain of love

(Keep playing it like it is!)

High on a mountain of love

Chorus

Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside the church, there's an altar filled
with flowers
Wedding bells are ringing and they should've
been ours
That's why I'm so handy, my dream is gone above
High on a mountain of love - x4

(What, honey?)
High on a mountain of love
(Hahahaha)
Ooh baby...
(That's good.)
One more time. Oooh baby. Ooo
(That's a good voice)
