Climbing up the Matterhorn

G            D
All alone as I could be

I heard this mystic melody

On an island in the ocean

G           D
Not a human soul around

Em                D
As I searched for bread and water

Once again I heard this sound

My plane had all its motors gone

    G                 D
The wings would never keep me up

  Em                 D
I heard a voice that seemed to say

"Now, let's take it from the top"

D
I was tramping through the Congo

G                D
When the Mau Mau tribe appeared

Em               D
And their native chant was haunting

A                   D
Just the sound that I had feared

G       D
Ole, oleanna

Em        D
Ole, ole, ole, ole

A       D

[Verse]
D
While rocketing one day in space

 G              D
I found myself upon the moon

   Em        D
An ectoplasm greeted me with

 A                  D
"Have you heard the latest tune?"

D
My ship was sinking in the water

G            D
So I sent an S.O.S.

Em           D
And I waited for an answer

A              D
You don't even have to guess
[Verse]
D
Came a voice so calm and cheerful

G                D
Just as cheerful as can be

Em               D
Said, "According to our survey

A               D
Now the song is number three"
[Chorus]
D
Ole, oleanna

G       D
Ole, oleanna
