#1.

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.



#2.

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.





E             A             E

Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..

A         E              B       E

Ommp pah..oomp pah pah...pah pah pah..

E             A             E

Oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..oomp pah pah..

E             A             B       E

Ommp pah pah..oomp pah pah..pah pah pah..

 



#3.

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.



#4.

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.
