The (F)hills are a live
with the sound of (E)mu sic,
With (F)songs they have sung
for a thou sand (Bb)years.
The (F)hills fill my heart
with the sound of (E)mu sic,
My (F)heart wants to (Bb)sing ev ’ry (C7)song
it (F)hears.
My heart wants to (Bb)beat like the (Bbdim)wings of the (F)birds that rise from the (Bb)lake (Bbdim)to the (F)trees.
My (Bb)heart wants to (Bbdim)sigh like a (F)chime that flies from a (G)church on a (C)breeze,
(F)To (Bb)laugh like a (Bbdim)brook when it (F)trips and falls o ver (Bb)stones (Bbdim)in its (F)way,
To (Dm)sing through the (Am)night
like a (Dm)lark who is (G7)learn ing to (C)pray.
I (F)go to the hills
when my heart is (E)lone ly,
I (F)know I will hear
what I’ve heard be (Bb)fore.
My (F)heart will be blessed
with the sound of (Bb)mu sic,
And I’ll (Am)sing
(C7)once
(F)more.
