E/ (022100@1)/ / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / /
Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
ATeardrops (x02220@1)fallin' from the mountainside
EMany (022100@1)times I've been here, many times I've cried
  B7 (x21202@1)                AI (x02220@1)used to be so happy when we were in love
E (022100@1)       B7 (x21202@1)        EHigh (022100@1)on a mountain of love

Verse 2:
Night after night I've been standin' here alone
Weepin' my heart out out at the crack of dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hopin' just by chance that I'll get a trip to you
I hope I'm gonna find you somewhere in love
High on a mountain of love

Bridge:
A (x02220@1)               F#Mountain (244322@1)of love, mountain of love
A (x02220@1)           F#You (244322@1)should be ashamed
    A (x02220@1)          F#You (244322@1)used to be a mountain of love
    A (x02220@1)                      B7But (x21202@1)you've just changed your name

Verse 3:
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' that should've been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
