F#m  A    D    E




🎸 Verse 1:
         A                           D
When the black-necked cranes take to wing
                                    E
And the peach blossoms bloom in the spring
       F#m                        A
I will go where the blue glaciers flow
        D                     E
And the chir pines sing down below

🎸 Chorus:
         F#m                  D
Oh, it's been many years since I left
                             E
The high rocky plains of the west
         F#m                      D
When the rivers run blue
I'll return
                               E
Once again to the roof of the world

🎸 Verse 2:
         A                       D
Herd the sheep across the frozen lake
                               E
As I tent, the howling timber shakes
              F#m                    A
While in the cold rocky heights undisturbed
           D                          E
Stands the grandmother goddess of the world


🎸 Chorus:
         F#m                  D
Oh, it's been many years since I left
                             E
The high rocky plains of the west
         F#m                      D
When the rivers run blue
I'll return
                               E
Once again to the roof of the world

🎸 Verse 3:
    A                   D
We came to base camp in May
                              E
And hoped to climb without delay
             F#m                         A
But we were caught by a storm above the steppe
         D                    E
And our teardrops froze as we wept


🎸 Chorus:
         F#m                  D
Oh, it's been many years since I left
                             E
The high rocky plains of the west
         F#m                      D
When the rivers run blue
I'll return
                               E
Once again to the roof of the world
