Verse:
A augmentedA        D MajorD        DmDm   A augmentedA
High on a rocky ledge lives the Mädel, Edelweiß
A augmentedA        D MajorD     DmDm    A augmentedA
Shy as a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice
 A7A7   D MajorD       DmDm
High on a rocky ledge, I pledged my love to
A augmentedA     F#F#   Bb majorBb     E MajorE  A augmentedA
Her ev'ry time I climb up to paradise
          D MajorD     DmDm    A augmentedA
How many times I've been up to see her, goodness knows
           D MajorD       DmDm   A augmentedA
Huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing clothes
 A7A7   D MajorD        DmDm
How many chances would be taken in my
A augmentedA      F#F#     B minorBm      E MajorE  A augmentedA
Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß
           D MajorD      DmDm    A augmentedA
Then spoke a spirit, "If you would win your Lady Love,
           D MajorD      DmDm     A augmentedA
There's only one way: fall to your death from high above.
 A7A7    D MajorD       DmDm
You will begin to grow in snow beside the
A augmentedA      F#F#   B minorBm    E MajorE   A augmentedA
One you have waited for to be mated with."
         D MajorD     DmDm   A augmentedA
Now I'm an Edel, vice to my Mädel, Edelweiß
         D MajorD     DmDm A augmentedA
Dying to be with her wasn't any sacrifice
 A7A7    D MajorD     DmDm
We're so deliriously happy on our
A augmentedA       F#F#     B minorBm     E MajorE  A augmentedA
Ledge where I pledged my love to my Lady Fair
           D MajorD       DmDm   A augmentedA
You who are climbing breathless to see me and my love
           D MajorD     DmDm   A augmentedA
Snow flowers growing fonder on Lover's Ledge above
 A7A7      D MajorD         DmDm
If you've the yen to pluck, then pluck us both for
A augmentedA      F#F#    B minorBm      E MajorE   A augmentedA
We who have lived as one, wish to die as one.
