E
Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city..

the way I feel is a doggone pity.
A                                        E
Teardrops fallin' down the mountainside..many times 

I've been here, many times I've cried.
   B                   A
We used to be so happy when we were in love..
E         B           E   B
high on a mountain of love.

#2.
E
Night after night I'm a-standin' here alone..

weepin' out my heart till the cold gray dawn.
A
Hoping that you're lonely and you'll come here, too.
E              B                E
Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you.
B                        A
Trying hard to find you, somewhere above..
E         B           E    E7
high on a mountain of love.

CHORUS:
A                         Abm7              A
The mountain of love, the mountain of love..you should 
   Abm7    Gbm
be ashamed.
A                Abm7                 A
You used to be a mountain of love but you just changed 
     Abm7  Gbm
your name.

Way down below there's a half a million people..
                    Dbm                    E
somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple.
A                             Gbm
Inside the church, there's an altar filled with flowers.
E
Wedding bells are ringin' and they should've been ours.
B                            A
That's why I'm so lonely, my dream is up above..
E         B           E    E7
high on a mountain of love.

CHORUS:
A                         Abm7              A
The mountain of love, the mountain of love..you should 
   Abm7     Gbm
be ashamed.
A                Abm7                 A
You used to be a mountain of love but you just changed 
     Abm7  Gbm
your name.
