verse 1
  
C       G 
I remember well,  
C       G 
it was long ago,  
Em                              D                       G 
and it true there's things these photographs don't show.  

C               G 
When she took my hand,  
C               G 
dreaming as we ran,  
C               Em           D          G 
we use the stars in the sky as our map.  


C               D               G 
Sing oo-oo-ooh if you'll be mine. 
C               D               G-C  
Then oo-oo-ooh we will climb.  
Em              D               G 
Cause we belong here with the Great Tetons.  

verse 2 
C       G 
Well we made our way,  
C       G 
up to the treeline,  
C           Em                          D               G 
when the cloud fell down and covered us in white.  

C       G 
And the world below,   
C       G 
was like a rolling sea.  
C       Em              D               G 
So we watched from the tallest peak.
