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
I hiAt the dance floor around about midnight
Gin Cand juice and I was feelin’ fineD  
CAome the morning all the sounds went up
CPolice man said the joint waDs shut
AAll the brothers gettin' busted outside
CUndercover officers readin' tDhem their rights
AIt’s a one way ticket boys you’re prison bound
CThe night the lights in Dallas Dwent down
Chorus
So
AHow long we gotta wait until
FWe get the keys to the mansion on Dthe hillA  
AHow long we gotta waste our time
FBoardin' a bus that's bound for tDhe welfare lineA  
A C D
AShe shakes the blues off then she tries her luck
CMakes a little bet, hopes her horse comes Dup
AShe’s pickin' pockets for some easy money
CBlew the damn lot on the lotteryD  
AShe steals a paper, checks the front page
CHeadlines read the dancehall can't Dbe saved
AHow can they open up an opera house
CThe night the lights in Dallas wDent down
Chorus
So
AHow long we gotta wait until
FWe get the keys to the mansion on Dthe hillA  
AHow long we gotta waste our time
FBoardin' a bus that's bound foDr the welfare lineA  
A F D
DWelfare linAe…
A C D
ATweek freak Tony on the four two eight
CSpecial branch sting right time wrong Dplace
AColumbian connections in the corridors of power
CMean the man on the money ain't ever goin' downD  
ALord Lucky takes his lady to the Magic Flute
CLittle taste or two thinks he's bulDlet proof
ATony tunes the underground radio
COn the night the lights in Dallas weDnt down
Chorus
So
AHow long we gotta wait until
FWe get the keys to the mansion on Dthe hill
AHow long we gotta waste our time
FBoardin' a bus that's bound foDr the welfare lineA  
Finish how you like! Do another chorus or two!!

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

I hit the dance floor around about midnight

C D

Gin and juice and I was feelin’ fine

Come the morning all the sounds went up

C D

Police man said the joint was shut

All the brothers gettin' busted outside

C D

Undercover officers readin' them their rights

It’s a one way ticket boys you’re prison bound

C D

The night the lights in Dallas went down

Chorus

How long we gotta wait until

F D A

We get the keys to the mansion on the hill

How long we gotta waste our time

F D A

Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line

A C D

She shakes the blues off then she tries her luck

C D

Makes a little bet, hopes her horse comes up

She’s pickin' pockets for some easy money

C D

Blew the damn lot on the lottery

She steals a paper, checks the front page

C D

Headlines read the dancehall can't be saved

How can they open up an opera house

C D

The night the lights in Dallas went down

Chorus

How long we gotta wait until

F D A

We get the keys to the mansion on the hill

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

Tweek freak Tony on the four two eight

C D

Special branch sting right time wrong place

Columbian connections in the corridors of power

C D

Mean the man on the money ain't ever goin' down

Lord Lucky takes his lady to the Magic Flute

C D

Little taste or two thinks he's bullet proof

Tony tunes the underground radio

C D

On the night the lights in Dallas went down

Chorus

How long we gotta wait until

F D

We get the keys to the mansion on the hill

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!!
