 G D  G  D  Bm A D


Verse:
          G                                   D
There's a girl up on the mountain I once knew
  G                                   D
I let her go and now I'm sad and blue
    Bm                A
But sometimes late at night I pray
D                   G      G/F#
She'll come down to me someday
        Em7/B          A                   D
But the girl up on the mountain never knew

Verse:
        G                                     D
So she gave herself to someone else back then
G                                    D
Thought I'd never see her face again
Bm               A
Found a new love of my own
D                  G         G/F#
Broke my heart and now she's gone
        Em7/B          A                     D
But the girl up on the mountain still remains


Instrumental:
G  D  G  D

D  A  G  D  G  D


Bridge:
  Bm            A
I wish I may, I wish I might
   G            D
On every star I see tonight
  Bm               A
A million diamonds up above
D                 G     G/F#
Shine down on the one I love
    Em7/B        A                         D
The poets have a thousand tales they tell



Verse:
 G                                       D
About love that didn't work out well
    Bm           A
And me I sleep alright tonight
       D              G       G/F#
'Cause in my dreams I hold up tight
        Em7/B          A                        D
But the girl up on the mountain's up there still
                   Em7/B   A              G       D
Oh, and I love her now,    guess I always will
