KEY:
Y - yodel
Ly - long yodel
Rly - really long yodel
Up on a mountain so gay and so free.huh huh
There is a young man and he's waiting there for me
Out on the lake, we'll drift with the tide
And hear those chime bells ring
Chime bells are ringing... y
Mockingbirds they're singing... y
Hush, little lover... y
Up on a summer's eve or eave...
Ly
Moonbeams were shining as I kissed him there.
(kiss)
Nightbirds were singing and darkness filled the air
Each little star that twinkled above
Was heaven that smiled on our love
Chime bells are ringing... y
Mockingbirds they're singing... y
Hush, little lover... y
Up on a summer's eve...
Rly
Rly
(faster)
Should I go faster?
Rly
(even faster)
Rly
(faster still, usually a capella)
(By this time your eyes are bulging)
Ly
* Chime Bells
(y=yodeling) *
As Transcribed by Atz Kilcher
Up on a mountain so gay and so free.
There is a young man and he's waiting there for me
Out on the lake, we'll drift with the tide
And hear those chime bells ring
Chime bells are ringing... y
Mockingbirds are singing... y
Hush, little lover... y
Up on a summer's eve or eave...
Moonbeams were shining as I kissed him there.
(swack)
Nightbirds were singing and perfume filled the air
Each little star that twinkled above
Was heaven that smiled on our love
Chime bells are ringing... y
Mockingbirds are singing... y
Hush, little lover... y
Up on a summer's eve...
