F# B F# B F#
One time, a long time ago..on a mountain in Switzerland,
C#7 F#
yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh..
F# B F# B F#
there lived a fair young maiden..lovely but lonely,
C#7 F#
yoh, hoh, hoh, hoh.
CHORUS:
F# B
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,
F# C#7 F#
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.

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

F# B F# B
But very day she grew unhappier, on a mountain in
F# C#7 F#
Switzerland, yoh, loh, loh, loh, loh.
F# B F# B F#
Every day a little bit lonelier..which way to turn
C#7 F#
and which way to go?
CHORUS:
F# B
Day after day, she'd pine her heart away,
F# C#7 F#
yoh, loh, loh, loh, lay de yay, but no love came her way.

F# F#7
Some say the maiden's dream, never came true..
B
she never got to go to the valley,
F# C#7
if she did or not, I really don't know, whoa, hoh, hoh, hoh..
F#
did she die unhappy?
#5.
B F# C#7 F#
I'd rather think she found her love.
B F# C#7 F#
Wouldn't she be better if she did find love..?
B F# C#7 F#
somewhere, some way..yodel-ady-oh..yodel-ady-ay.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
