[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EOne time a long Atime aEgo
AOn a mountain in ESwitzerland, Byo lo lo Elo
There lived a Afair young Emaiden
ALovely but Elonely, oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
EDay after day, she'd Apine her heart away
Yo lo lo Elo lady yay
BBut no love Ecame her way
[Verse 2]
EOne day, her papa said, "Some day we'll go down to the village
AIn the valley, there you'll meet a Enice young man, he'll B7ask for your hand
Then you'll be Ehappy"
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
EBut every day she Agrew unEhappier
On a Emountain in Switzerland, Byo lo lo Elo
Every day a Alittle bit loneElier
AWhich way to Eturn and Bwhich way to Ego
[Chorus]
EDay after day, she'd Apine her heart away
Yo lo lo Elo lady yay
BBut no love Ecame her way
[Verse 4]
ESome say the maiden's dream never came true
She never got to go to the Avalley
If she did or not, I Ereally don't know, B7oh oh oh oh
Did she die unAhappy?
[Outro]
AI'd rather think she Bfound her Elove
AWouldn't you rather think she Edid find love?
ASomeEwhere, some way
AYo lo lady yay, Byo lo lady Eyay
