F5                                  E5
The hills are alive with the sound of music,
     F5                                  Bb5 C5
With songs they have sung for a thousand years.
    F5                                     E5
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music.
   F5              Bb5         C5  C5   F5
My heart wants to sing ev'ry song it hears.


                  Bb5            Bb5
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise
         Bb5   Bb5     F5
from the lake to the trees.
    Bb5            Bb5
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
       G5     G5  C5
from a church on a breeze,
   Bb5           Bb5         F5
to laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
     Bb5     Bb5  F5
over stones on its way,
    D5    D5        A5            D5          G5          C5
to sing through the night, like a lark who is learning to pray.


C5 F5                                E5
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
   F5                                  Bb5 Bb5
I know I will hear what I've heard before.
    F5                   A5                  Bb5   G5
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
          A5   C5   F5
and I'll sing once more.
