Biography:
Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella on November 7, 1942 in New York City) is an American rock and roll singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer.
He was versatile enough to do folk songs, blues, covers of old-time Rock n' roll songs, and some original material, all of them in his own unique style. Rivers's greatest success came in the mid and late 1960s with a string of hit songs (including "Seventh Son," "Poor Side of Town" and "Secret Agent Man") but he has continued to record and perform to the present.

MOUNTAIN OF LOVE
songwriting credits unavailable
performed by Johnny Rivers
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)
(repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line and fade)
