High on a rocky [D] ledge [Dm] lives a [A] middle-aged dove eyes,
Shy as a shadow, [D] lovely [Dm] as lace, [A] and cold as ice.
High on [D] a rocky ledge [B] I [C#] pledge [Dm] my love [A] to her
[F#] Every time [Bm] I climb [E] up to [A] paradise.
How many times [D] I've been [Dm] up to see [A] her, goodness knows,
Huffing and [D] puffing, dressed [Dm] in the [A] warmest climbing clothes.
How [D] many chances would [F] be [C#] taken [Dm] in [A] my hopeless [F#] pursuit [B] of the shnee [E]-mead-a-lin [A]-va.
Then spoke a spirit, [D] if [Dm] you would win [A] your lady love,
There's only one [D] way far [Dm] to your death [A] from high above.
You will [D] begin to grow [B] in [C#] snow [Dm] beside [A] the one you [F#] have waited [Bm] for to [E] be mated [A] with.
Now I'm an adle [D]-vise to [Dm] my [A] middle-aged dove eyes,
Dying to be [D] with her [Dm] wasn't any [A] sacrifice.
We're so [D] [Bm] deliriously [B] [C#] happy [Dm] on [A] our ledge [F#] where I pledge [Bm] my love to [E] my lady [A] fair.
You who are climbing, [D] breathless [Dm] to see [A] me and my love.
Snow flowers growing [D] fonder [Dm] on [A] mother's ledge above.
If you [D] die in to pluck, [B] then [C#] pluck [Dm] us both,
[A] For we who [F#] have lived [Bm] as one wish [E] to die [A] as one.
