[Verse 1]
[G]O light the heart
That lingers in Merano
Merano! The spa no
Connois[D]seur of spas would [G]mis[D]s
So [G]healthy
Highly recommen[Bm]ded
[D]Is [A]this sweet metropolis
Mental and [D]physical [G]bliss!

[Verse 2]
The gods [G]have smiled
And blessed [C]is Merano
Merano! There are no
[D]Fitter burghers to be found
Such [G]vigour!
Take the time to taste us
We'll give you a welcome
that's typically Tirol
For then we are sure of
our ground
Right now we're [D]Italian
- we used to be German
The border keeps shifting around!

[Verse 4]
[G]Oh I get high when I [D]saunter by the
mountains [C]of [G]Merano
Rosy- [D]cheeked Merano

The [D]therapeutic [G]salt
I'd [C]have to be carried [G]away to [D]call a [G]halt!

Oh I feel great in this [D]bouncing state
O hail to [C]thee [G]Merano!

O sad the soul
Who passes by Merano
Merano! So far [C]no[G][C]
[G]Soul has ever [D]passed us [G]by
[D]They [G]love us
Why not [A]stay [G]forever[Bm]?

All those in [D]fa vour say "Aye"
Aye!

So [G]sing a song
Let's hear it for Meran[C]o
Merano! Soprano

This is a [G]place where your [B]arteries [G]soften
Cho[Bm]lesterol hasn't a chance
From [D]mountain to [A]valley

Once in a while all the [G]gods will [D]smile
