Well, Alley, I thought it would be rather straightforward to work out chords for this song. Trouble is, the only words I can find set to music are in German. I need the words to put the chords on, and I don't suppose German will be much help.

As Joe pointed out, the Latin words are a very poor fit. I've got the lyrics and the tune, but I can't get them to fit together. I've heard this sung any number of times, but I've always lost track of the words after a few measures.

If anybody knows a version I can see where the Latin words are fit to the melody, I will try some more.

It certainly is interesting to go to the PDF linked above and learn that the original words were in German, were a translation of a poem by Walter Scott, and seem to be a prayer by a maiden standing on a cliff.

I like it better. I never did like praying about somebody's uterus.
