Alabama 3
Mansion on the Hill
Based on the track from The Last Train To Mashville, Vol.2
This is a pretty slow choon on the album and there is some finger picking, hammering and
sliding but it�s all based on these chords I think so it�s a great one to improv on and
muck about with.
Intro
A C D A C D
A
I hit the dance floor around about midnight
C D
Gin and juice and I was feelin� fine
A
Come the morning all the sounds went up
C D
Police man said the joint was shut
A
All the brothers gettin' busted outside
C D
Undercover officers readin' them their rights
A
It�s a one way ticket boys you�re prison bound
C D
The night the lights in Dallas went down
Chorus
So
A
How long we gotta wait until
F D A
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
A
How long we gotta waste our time
F D A
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
A C D
A
She shakes the blues off then she tries her luck
C D
Makes a little bet, hopes her horse comes up
A
She�s pickin' pockets for some easy money
C D
Blew the damn lot on the lottery
A
She steals a paper, checks the front page
C D
Headlines read the dancehall can't be saved
A
How can they open up an opera house
C D
The night the lights in Dallas went down
Chorus
So
A
How long we gotta wait until
F D A
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
A
How long we gotta waste our time
F D A
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
A F D
D A
Welfare line�
A C D
A
Tweek freak Tony on the four two eight
C D
Special branch sting right time wrong place
A
Columbian connections in the corridors of power
C D
Mean the man on the money ain't ever goin' down
A
Lord Lucky takes his lady to the Magic Flute
C D
Little taste or two thinks he's bullet proof
A
Tony tunes the underground radio
C D
On the night the lights in Dallas went down
Chorus
So
A
How long we gotta wait until
F D
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
A
How long we gotta waste our time
F D A
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
Finish how you like! Do another chorus or two!!
