by the mansion on the [Cm] hillside, _ _ [Ab]
a sports [Bb] car comes driving [Eb] down the road, [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
and pulls up
[Cm] into the driveway, _ _ [Ab] _
[Bb] and the story [Eb] doesn't fold.
[Ab] _ _ [Eb]
She's standing by the [Cm] road in Denver, _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Bb] where the roses [Eb] are in bloom, [Ab] _ _ [Eb]
looking at the little

_ [Bb] _ [Eb] head she hung his [Ab] chin, [Eb] _
_ [Cm] thank God the dark nights are drawn in again, _ [Ab] _
[Bb] the high [Eb] of summer

if they shut him out [Fm] of paradise, _ _ [Bb]
call him Lucifer and [Cm] frown, _ she took [Ab] pride in what
There's been no two ways [Fm] about it

everything [Bb] that was tearing [Eb] him apart
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
Far away [Cm] from the organ grinder

[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
And they [Cm] sent him out of paradise
_ [Ab] _
[Bb] Oh, him loose so [Eb] pure and _ [Ab] frowned
[Eb]
As he took pride in what [Cm] God made him
Even [Ab] before the [Bb] angels shot him [Eb] to the ground
[Ab] He's [Eb] _
the light out [Cm] of the darkness
_ _ [Ab] _
[Bb] And he was a [Eb] starry crown
[Ab] [Eb] If _ you [Gm] see him [Cm] nothing is shaken
