Mountain of love (1964)

C

1. Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city,

the way I feel is a doggone pity.

Teardrops fallin' from the mountainside,

C

many times I've been here, many times I've cried.

G F C G7 C

I used to be so happy when we were in love, high on a mountain of love.

C

2. Night after night I've been standin' here alone,

weepin' my heart out till the cold grey dawn.

F

Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too,

C

hopin' just by chance that I'll get a glimpse on you.

G F C G7 C

I hope I'm gonna find you somewhere above, high on a mountain of love.

F Em F Em-G

Mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed,

F Em F Em-G

you used to be a mountain of love, but you've just changed your name.

C

3. Way down below there's a half a million people,

somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple.

F

Inside the church there's an altar filled with flowers,

C

wedding bells are ringin' that should've been ours.

G F

That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above,
