Meet On The Ledge - Fairport Convention 
 
A   F#m*       A      Em*          A     F#m           Em Em7 
 We used to say that, come the day, we'd all be making songs 
G           D             G            D            A 
 Or finding better words.  These ideas never lasted long. 
    F#m*     A  Em*          A    F#m            Em Em7 
The way is up along the road. The air is growing thin. 
G         D                      G              D        A 
 Too many friends who tried were blown off this mountain with the wind. 
 
A                              Em 
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge. 
G                D 
When the time is up I'm gonna see all my friends. 
A                              Em 
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge. 
G             D 
If you really mean it, it all comes round again. 
 
A F#m*    A    Em*       A              F#m          Em Em7 
 Now I see I'm all alone. But that's the only way to be. 
G                 D            G             D               A 
 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.
