Harold Dorman 1960 (also performed by Johnny Rivers)
(A) Standing on a mountain looking down on a city, the way I feel is a doggone pity. (D) Teardrops falling down a mountainside, (A) many times I've been here, and many times I've cried. We (E7) used to be so happy when (D) we were in love, (A) high on a (E7) mountain of (A) love
(A) Night after night I'm a standing here alone, weeping my heart out till cold gray dawn. (D) Hoping that you're lonely and you come here too, (A) hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you. (E7) Trying hard to find you, (D) somewhere up above, (A) high on a (E7) mountain of (A) love
(D) The mountain of love, the (C#m) mountain of love, (D) you should be (E) ashamed. We (D) used to be a (C#m) mountain of love, but (D) you sure changed (E7) your game.
(A) Way down below there's a half a million people, somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple (D) inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers. (A) Wedding bells are ringing and they should a been ours. (E7) That's why I'm so lonely, my (D) dreams gone above, (A) high on a (E7) mountain of (A) love
