[Verse 1]
A/E D A/E Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
F#m D E
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree

F#m D E
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes

While my father built a mansion on the mountain

F#m D E
And I believed her well enough or didn't care

While my father built a mansion on the mountain

There's only one way or the mountain after all
[Verse 4]

But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
