WE STARTED OUT
FROM BERN
ONE SUNNY
AUGUST MORN
THERE WAS JUST
THE FOUR OF US
AGAINST
THE MATTERHORN
THERE WAS ALBERT
THE AUSTRALIAN
AND JOHN THE IRISHMAN
ME AND BILL
FROM BRITAIN
MAD DOGS IN THE SUN
MATTERHORN
MATTERHORN
MEN HAVE TRIED
AND MEN HAVE DIED
TO CLIMB
THE MATTERHORN
THAT MIGHTY
MATTERHORN
6 BAR
BREAK
TWO MILES UP
WE LOST JOHN
AND THE RATIONS
FELL BELOW
AL AND BILL ARE LYING
BENEATH AN AVALANCHE
OF SNOW
NOW HERE I AM
ALL ALONE
AND I KNOW
I CANNOT STOP
TWO MORE YARDS
IN FRONT OF ME
BEFORE I REACH THE TOP
MATTERHORN
MATTERHORN
MEN HAVE TRIED
AND MEN HAVE DIED
TO CLIMB
THE MATTERHORN
THAT MIGHTY
MATTERHORN
6 BAR
BREAK
NOW HERE I AM
'A DYING
UPON THE MATTERHORN
NOT A GRAVE FOR ME
TO LIE IN
OR A THING
TO KEEP ME WARM
THE QUEEN
WOULD SURELY
KNIGHT ME
IF I COULD GET
BACK DOWN
BUT IT'S CLOSER HERE
TO HEAVEN
THAN IT IS
BACK TO THE GROUND
MATTERHORN
MATTERHORN
MEN HAVE TRIED
AND MEN HAVE DIED
TO CLIMB
THE MATTERHORN
THAT MIGHTY
MATTERHORN
THAT MIGHTY
MATTERHORN
