[E]
[E]
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city,
the way I feel is a doggone pity
[A]
Teardrops falling down a mountainside,
[E]
many times I've been here, and many times I've cried
[B7] [A]
We used to be so happy when we were in love,
[E] [B7] [E]
high on a mountain of love
[E]
Night after night I'm a standing here alone,
weeping my heart out till cold gray dawn
[A]
Hoping that you're lonely and you come here too,
[E]
hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you
[B7] [A]
Trying hard to find you, somewhere up above,
[E] [B7] [E]
high on a mountain of love
[A] [G#m] [A] [B]
The mountain of love, the mountain of love, you should be ashamed
[A] [G#m]
We used to be a mountain of love,
[A] [B7]
but you just changed your name
[E]
Way down below there's a half a million people,
somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
[A]
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers,
[E]
wedding bells are ringing and they should a been ours
[B7] [A]
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above,
[E] [B7] [E]
high on a mountain of love
[A] [G#m] [A] [B]
The mountain of love, the mountain of love, you should be ashamed
[A] [G#m]
We used to be a mountain of love,
[A] [B7]
but you just changed your name
[E]
Way down below there's a half a million people,
somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
[A]
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers,
[E]
wedding bells are ringing and they should a been ours
[B7] [A]
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above,
[E] [B7] [E]
high on a mountain of love
[B7] [E]
high on a mountain of love
[B7] [E]
high on a mountain of love . . .
