Meet On The Ledge - Fairport Convention 
 
A5   F#5 *       A5      Em*          A5     F#5           E5 E5 
 We used to say that, come the day, we'd all be making songs 
G5           D5             G5            D5            A5 
 Or finding better words.  These ideas never lasted long. 
    F#5 *     A5  E5 *          A5    F#5            E5 E5 
The way is up along the road. The air is growing thin. 
G5         D5                      G5              D5        A5 
 Too many friends who tried were blown off this mountain with the wind. 
 

A5                              E5 
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge. 
G5                D5 
When the time is up I'm gonna see all my friends. 
A5                              E5 
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge. 
G5             D5 
If you really mean it, it all comes round again. 
 

A5 F#5 *    A5    E5 *       A5              F#5          E5 E5 
 Now I see I'm all alone. But that's the only way to be. 
G5                 D5            G5             D5               A5 
 You'll have your chance again; then you can do the work for me. 
 
Meet on...etc. 
 
 
NB: the F#m and Em marked with a '*' - I'm almost sure that I used to 
play a Bm for these two chords, but the F#m and Em sound better just 
now. (I have a guitar with me, but not the record).  You might like to 
stick Bm in there if it sounds better for you.
