^B There's a place out ^E on the edge of ^B town sir
Risin' a ^E bove the factories and ^B fields
Now ever s ^E ince I was a child I can ^B remember

On a ^E road that leads to those gates of hardened s ^B teel
Steel ^E gates that completely surro ^B und sir
That ^F# mansion on the ^B hill
^B At night my daddy'd ^E take me and we'd ^B ride
Through the streets of a ^E town so silent and ^B still
Park on a ^E back road along the highway s ^B igns sir
Look ^F# up at the mansion on the h ^B ill
