[D#m] [B] [C#]
While [F#] my father built a [B] mansion on the [F#] mountain, [D#m] I was chasing my [B] Teresa around the [C#] tree.
[F#] He was kicking precious stones, singing [B] shifts and swimming home, only [D#m] crazy for [B] the comfort of our [C#] home.
While [F#] my father built [B] a mansion on [F#] the mountain, [D#m] I, Teresa, dragged [B] a rag across [C#] my brow.
She [F#] said, the weather's never fair, the wind [B] can only blow your hair, and I [D#m] believe her well [B] enough for dinner [C#] and care.
[A#m] Everyone knows, [G#m] and they don't know, [A#m] chandelier lighting [G#m] love.
[A#m] It just watches [G#m] the time go.
[E] Across the marble floor, [G#m] out the [B] ornamental door, [G#m] even rain can [B] hear it running on [C#] low.
[F#] [B] [F#]
[D#m] [B] [C#]
[F#] While my father built [B] a mansion [F#] on the mountain, [D#m] my Teresa threw [B] me kisses through [C#] the cold.
[F#] We read the writing on the wall, [B] embraced each other for the fall.
There's [D#m] only one way [B] up a mountain [C#] after all.
[F#] While my father built [B] a mansion [F#] on the mountain, [D#m] it was me and my [B] Teresa against [C#] the world.
Went [F#] to call the river, had to give, [B] broke a bit, bought a crib, and left [D#m] the mountain mansion.
[B] I've been too [C#] forgive.
