Fairport Convention - Meet on the Ledge

      Meet On The Ledge - Fairport Convention
By Richard Thompson


[Verse 1]
A   Bm           A     Bm           A
 We used to say,  that come the day,
     F#m           Em Em7
We'd all be making songs
G           D
 Or finding better words.
G            D            A
These ideas never lasted long.

[Verse 2]
A   Bm        A   Bm            A
The way is up,   along the road,
    F#m           Em Em7
The air is growing thin
G         D
 Too many friends who tried
G              D                 A
Blown off this mountain with the wind.

[Chorus]
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                                  E  E  E  E
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.

[Verse 3]
A Bm      A      Bm       A
 Now I see  I'm all alone,
F#m                         Em Em7
But that's the only way to be.
G                 D            G
 You'll have your chance again;
G            D               A
then you can do the work for me.

[Chorus]
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.

[Chorus]
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                                  E
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.
