E Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city E The way I feel is a doggone pity A Teardrops fallin' from the mountainside E Many times I've been here, many times I've cried B7 A I used to be so happy when we were in love E B7 E A-A#-B7 - E6 High on a mountain of love Verse 2: E Night after night I've been standin' here alone E Weepin' my heart out out at the crack of dawn A Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too E Hopin' just by chance that I'll get a trip to you B7 A I hope I'm gonna find you somewhere in love E B7 E A-A#-B7 - E6 High on a mountain of love Bridge: A F# Mountain of love, mountain of love A F# You should be ashamed A F# You used to be a mountain of love A B7 But you've just changed your name Verse 3: (key Change) A Way down below there's a half a million people A Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple D Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers A Wedding bells are ringin' that should've been ours E7 A That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above A E7 D-D#-E - A High on a mountain of love (instrumental, same pattern as verses) (repeat bridge) (repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line and fade)
