[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][Cm][G][C][Cm][G]
[C][Adim][Cm][G][E][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]High on a rocky [C]ledge lives [Cm]a Mä[G]del, Edelweiß
Shy as a shadow, [C]lovely as [Cm]lace,
and [G]cold as ice
High on a [C]rocky ledge,
I [Cm]pledge my love to [G]her
Ev'ry [E]time I [Am]climb up to [D]Paradis[G]e

[Verse 2]
[G]How many times I've [C]been up to [Cm]see her,
[G]goodness knows
Huffing and puffing,
[C]dressed in the [Cm]warmest [G]climbing clothes
How many [C]chances would be
[Adim]taken in[Cm] my
[G]Hopeless pur[E]suit of the
[Am]Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß[D]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Then spoke a spirit,
[C]"If you would [Cm]win your L[G]ady Love
There's only one way: [C]fall to
your [Cm]death from [G]high above
You will be[C]gin to grow in
[Adim]snow bes[Cm]ide the on[G]e
You have [E]waited [Am]for to
be [D]mated [G]with"

[Verse 4]
[G]Now, I'm an Edel,
[C]vice to [Cm]my M[G]ädel, Edelweiß
Dying to be with [C]her wasn't
[Cm]any [G]sacrifice
We're so de[C]liriously
[Adim]happy on[Cm] our led[G]ge
Where I [E]pledge my [Am]love to my [D]Lady Fair
[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]You who are climbing [C]breathless
[Cm]to see me [G]and my love
Snow flowers growing [C]fonder
on [Cm]Lover's [G]Ledge above
If you've the [C]yen to pluck,
then [Adim]pluck u[Cm]s both
For [G]we who have [E]lived as [Am]one wish to
[D]die as [G]one
