capo 2
 DWe Bmused to Dsay that, Amcome the day,
 Dwe'd Bmall be making AmsoAm7ngs
 COr finding Gbetter words. 
 CThese ideas Gnever lasted Dlong.
The Bmway is Dup Amalong the Droad. 
The Bmair is growing AmthAm7in.
 CToo many Gfriends who tried were
 Cblown off this Gmountain Dwith the wind.
DMeet on the ledge; we're gonna Ammeet on the ledge.
CWhen the time is Gup I'm gonna see all my friends.
DMeet on the ledge; we're gonna Ammeet on the ledge.
CIf you really Gmean it, it all comes round again.
 DNow I Bmsee I'm Dall Amalone. D  
But that's the Bmonly way to AmbeAm7.
 CYou'll have your Gchance again;
 Cthen you can Gdo the work for Dme.
DMeet on the ledge; we're gonna Ammeet on the ledge.
CWhen the time is Gup I'm gonna see all my friends.
DMeet on the ledge; we're gonna Ammeet on the ledge.
CIf you really Gmean it, it all comes round again.
