Mansion Mountain Prison Words and Music by: Richard Melvin Brown
Verse One:
C E7 Am |
She would meet in the morning with the softness of her smile |
D7 G7 C |
She’d make me toast and coffee and we’d talk awhile |
F C E7 Am |
We’d talk about tomorrow, all our future plans we made |
D7 G7 |
A big house on Mansion Mountain and a love that would never fade |
Verse Two:
| C E7 Am |
| It was just a two room walkup with a sofa for a bed |
| D7 G7 C |
| But it was all we really needed if we’d only known back then |
| F C E7 Am |
| Yes I can still remember sharing dreams of days ahead |
| D7 G7 C |
| A big house on Mansion Mountain and a love that would never end |
Chorus:
| F Cmaj7 |
| Now I’m just an inmate in Mansion Mountain Prison |
| D7 G7 |
| I’m a ward of my own ace of hearts and I’m playing solitaire |
| F C E7 Am |
| This big house on Mansion Mountain is now my lonely prison cell |
| Dm G7 F C |
| and my one the only cell mate is her memory in my mind |
Verse Three:
| C E7 Am |
| You know I never even noticed the hunger in her heart |
| D7 G7 C |
| and how my road from rags to riches was driving us apart |
| F C E7 Am |
| she left me in the morning and I didn’t even see |
| D7 G7 C |
| This big house on Mansion Mountain had taken her from me |
REPEAT CHORUS
