Key: Bb

-3* 4  -5   4 -3* 3   3   -2
Far a-bove Cay-u-ga’s wa-ters
 4   -3*  -3  -3*  4
With its waves of blue, 
  -3*   4  -5  4 -3* 3  3  -2
Stands our no-ble al-ma ma-ter, 
 4  -5 -5* -3  -3*
Glor-i-ous to view. 



Refrain 
 -5   -5   4   4    -3* -3* -3  -3
Raise the chor-us, speed it on-ward, 
 3    3   -2  -3*  4
Loud her prais-es tell; 
 -3* 4   -5    4 -3* 3  3  -2
Hail to thee, our al-ma ma-ter! 
 4    -5   -5*  -3   -3*
Hail, all hail, Cor-nell! 

Far above the busy humming 
Of the bustling town, 
Reared against the arch of heaven, 
Looks she proudly down.
