To get the same sound as the studio version, tune your guitar a quarter step down [Intro] D G D G D G D A7 D [Verse 1]
 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
[Verse 2]
D                  G                D
In the day you can see the children playing

        G                                         D
On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel

      G                        D
Steel gates that completely surround it,

    A7             D
The mansion on the hill
[Verse 3]
D                   G                D
At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride

                                 G           D
Through the streets of a town so silent and still

          G                           D
Park on a back road along the highway side

        A7                     D
Look up at that mansion on the hill
[Instrumental] D G D A7 D G D [Verse 4]
       D      G                    D
In the summer all the lights would shine

                                 G                D
There'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time

           G                                    D
Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields

        A7                           D
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill
[Verse 5]
D            G              D
Tonight down here in Linden Town

            G                              D
I watch the cars rushin' by, home from the mill

          G                   D
There's a beautiful full moon rising

A7                       D
Above the mansion on the hill
[Outro] D G D G D G D A7 D G D
