F#F#     BB     F#F#  BB        F#F#
One time, a long time ago..on a mountain in Switzerland,
C#7C#7         F#F#
yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh..
F#F#      BB     F#F#   BB     F#F#
there lived a fair young maiden..lovely but lonely,
C#7C#7      F#F#
yoh, hoh, hoh, hoh.

CHORUS:
F#F#          BB
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,
F#F#             C#7C#7        F#F#
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.

F#F#            F#7F#7
One day, her papa said..'Some day we'll go down to
          BB             F#7F#7
the village in the valley, then you'll meet a nice
         C#7C#7                F#F#
young man, who'll ask for your hand, then you'll be happy.

F#F#        BB   F#F#    BB
But very day she grew unhappier, on a mountain in
F#F#      C#7C#7         F#F#
Switzerland, yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh.
F#F#     BB     F#F#    BB      F#F#
Every day a little bit lonelier..which way to turn
  C#7C#7     F#F#
and which way to go?

CHORUS:
F#F#          BB
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,
F#F#             C#7C#7        F#F#
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.

#4.
F#F#              F#7F#7
Some say the maiden's dream, never came true..
              BB
she never got to go to the valley,
           F#F#         C#7C#7
if she did or not, I really don't know, whoa, hoh, hoh, hoh..
       F#F#
did she die unhappy?

#5.
BB     F#F#    C#7C#7    F#F#
I'd rather think she found her love.
BB        F#F#      C#7C#7   F#F#
Wouldn't she be better if she did find love..?
BB     F#F#    C#7C#7           F#F#
somewhere, some way..yodel-ady-oh..yodel-ady-ay.
