No capo. To play with the album you will need to tune down half a step, though in live versions I've seen
they play in standard tuning and it sounds completely fine.

[Verse 1]
G C G F#7 While my father built a mansion on the mountain Em C D I was chasing my Teresa around a tree G C We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home Em C D Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes
[Verse 2]
G C G F#7 While my father built a mansion on the mountain Em C D My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow G C She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair" Em C D And I believed her well enough or didn't care
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
G C G F#7 While my father built a mansion on the mountain Em C D My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold G C We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall Em C D There's only one way or the mountain after all
[Verse 4]
G C G F#7 While my father built a mansion on the mountain Em C D It was me and my Teresa against the world G C We took all the river had to give, broke a bed and bought a crib Em C D But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
