Meet On The Ledge
Richard Thompson
capo 2
D Bm D Am
We used to say that, come the day,
D Bm Am Am7
we'd all be making songs
C G
Or finding better words.
C G D
These ideas never lasted long.
Bm D Am D
The way is up along the road.
Bm Am Am7
The air is growing thin.
C G
Too many friends who tried were
C G D
blown off this mountain with the wind.
D Am
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.
C G
When the time is up I'm gonna see all my friends.
D Am
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.
C G
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.
D Bm D Am D
Now I see I'm all alone.
Bm Am Am7
But that's the only way to be.
C G
You'll have your chance again;
C G D
then you can do the work for me.
D Am
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.
C G
When the time is up I'm gonna see all my friends.
D Am
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.
C G
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.
