CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C G F C (4x)
CHORUS:
I went up to the mountain
And I [F]came back a wise[C] woman[F]
Went to the [C]river, [F]came back wiser[G] still[C]
Only to see, you're as [F]dear to me as the [C]air I breathe[F]
Won't you [C]meet me at that [F]mansion [G]on the [C]hill
Stuffed your mattress and [G]wove your [F]sheets
Patched your blanket, piece by [C]piece
If the [F]lord had granted me a [C]choice, I'd a [F]held up my [G]hand
We [C]ground the corn, moulded [G]lard and [F]lye
Had ten children and [C]watched four die[F]
I'll stand be[C]side you when you meet the [G]promised [C]land
CHORUS:
Because I went up to the mountain
And I [F]came back a wise[C] woman[F]
Went to the [C]river, [F]came back wiser[G] still[C]
Only to see, you're as [F]dear to me as the [C]air I breathe[F]
Won't you [C]meet me at that [F]mansion [G]on the [C]hill
INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C F G C F C F C F G C
Danced to the fiddle on a [G]Saturday [F]night
And chopped the cotton be[C]fore daylight[F]
The sun don't go [C]down on a [F]poor man's wo[G]es
But my [C]love, if you don't [G]meet the [F]dawn
I promise you, I'll [C]carry on[F]
Singing, 'Precious [C]Memories', as I plant a[G]long the [C]rows
CHORUS:

Went to the [C]river, [F]came back wiser[G] still[C]
Only to see, you're as [F]dear to me as the [C]air I breathe[F]
Won't you [C]meet me at that [F]mansion [G]on the [C]hill
Won't you meet me at the [F]mansion on the h[C]ill
Won't you meet me at the [F]mansion on the h[C]ill
