G     Am    D7

    G                              C                  G
A Mansion on a Hill Is a Lovely site to see
              C           G              Am        D7
But Like any other house its only temporary
G                                 C                         G
Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart
    C                     G           Am       D7
If theres no love inside, it'll soon fall apart


CHORUS

C            G         D7          G
Ashes to Ashes, Dust into Dust
C                   G            Am            D7
Buildings Will Crumble, Bridges will rust
C                    G                                   C
Mountains will disappear, Rivers will dry up
       Am                 D7                 G
And so it goes with everything but love
        Em Am       D7                 G           Em Am D7
so it go--es, with everything but love, so it go--es

G                                      C         G
You can drive around in a long limosine
          C                                 G     Am                  D7
If you don't know where you're going it won't mean a thing
G                                       C                    G
He who'd walk a mile just to hold an empty hand
C                    G           Am              D7
Knows what it means to be a wealthy man

REPEAT CHORUS
C     D7  G           C        D7     G
Worldly treasures will all pass away
C         D7    Em                Am           D7
There's just one thing thats put here to stay

REPEAT CHORUS
C            G         D7          G
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
C                    G           Am            D7
Kingdoms will crumble   bridges will rust
C                    G                                  C
Mountains will dissapear  Rivers will dry up
       Am                   D7               G
And so it goes with everything but love
              Em Am     D7                  G
and so it go--es with everything but love  (repeat 4 times/same chords)
