Thread Name: Chord Req: Morning Side of the Mountain (T Edwards
Subject: Chord Req: Chords: Morning Side of the Mountain
How about the chords to this song by Tommy Edwards first charted in 1951-52 and later charted as a reissue at #27 for 4 weeks. It debuted on the Top 40 on 3/23/59.

The part I am having trouble with is the key change at the bridge:

For love the rose...

There was a girl, there was a boy
If they had met they might have found a world of joy
But she lived on the morning side of the mountain
And he lived on the twilight side of the hill

They never met, they never kissed
And they will never know what happiness they missed
For she lived on the morning side of the mountain
And he lived on the twilight side of the hill

For love's a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true

And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And I am on the twilight side of the hill

For love's a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true

And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And I am on the twilight side of the hill

Thanks,

Work sure gets in the way of the good life, don't it?
