tab transcribed by Collins Crapo 

E / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / /
Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
A
Teardrops fallin' from the mountainside
E
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried
  B7                  A
I used to be so happy when we were in love
E         B7          E
High on a mountain of love

Verse 2:
Night after night I've been standin' here alone
Weepin' my heart out out at the crack of dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hopin' just by chance that I'll get a trip to you
I hope I'm gonna find you somewhere in love
High on a mountain of love

Bridge:
A                 F#
Mountain of love, mountain of love
A             F#
You should be ashamed
    A            F#
You used to be a mountain of love
    A                        B7
But you've just changed your name

Verse 3:
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' that should've been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

(repeat bridge)

Johnny Rivers - Mountain Of Love
Here's Johnny's great song from the mid sixties.

JOHNNY RIVERS- " MOUNTAIN OF LOVE "
LYRICS: MOUNTAIN OF LOVE Standing on a mountain looking down on a city The way I feel is a doggone pity Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside Many times I've been here, many times I've cried We used to be so happy when we were in love High on a mountain of love Night after night I'm a-standing here alone Weepin' my heart out till cold grey dawn Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere up above High on a mountain of love A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above High on a mountain of love A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed We used to be a mountain of love But you just changed your name Way down below there's a half a million people Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours That's why I'm so lonely, high from above High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love High on a mountain of love
