[Verse 1]
F#/C# B F#/C# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain

I was chasing my Teresa around a tree

Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes

While my father built a mansion on the mountain

And I believed her well enough or didn't care

There's only one way or the mountain after all

But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
