[F#m] [Em]
If rain [D] will fall, [G] I appear [Em] upon the mountain,
Grass [D] will grow, [F#] and shepherds [Em] will be thankful,
[C] And [G] our love [B] will cover up [Em] all the mountain.
[B] For time is like [Em] a promise,
[C] It tries all [B] your strength [Em] to keep to.
Before [D] she came, [F#] I lived alone [Em] upon the mountain,
The [D] raven heard [Em] your voice high upon the wind,
[C] Then [G] one day you [B] came to me [Em] upon the mountain.
[B] For time is like [Em] a promise,
[C] It tries [B] all your strength [Em] to keep to.
The sun [D] goes down, [F#] and shadows soon [Em] are it to weaving,
But [D] she lies [F#] so deep inside [Em] my love surrounds,
[C] Time will [Bm]
[F#] outdo us, [B] this I only [Em] know too well.
[B] For love is like [Em] a promise,
[C] It tries [B] all your strength [Em] to keep to.
