Lyrics

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.
