young man, who’ll ask for your hand, then you'll be happy.

But very day she grew unhappier, on a mountain in
A           E7                 A
Switzerland, yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh.
A          D          A        D            A
Every day a little bit lonelier  which way to turn
    E7          A
and which way to go?

A                   D
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,
A                         E7               A
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay
but no love came her way.

Verse 4:
A                           A7
Some say the maiden's dream, never came true
                           D
she never got to go to the valley,
                     A                 E7
if she did or not, I really don't know, whoa, hoh, hoh, hoh
              A
did she die unhappy?

Verse 5:
D          A        E7       A
I'd rather think she found her love.
D               A            E7      A
Wouldn't she be better if she did find love  ?
D          A        E7                     A
somewhere, some way  yodel-ady-oh  yodel-ady-ay.
