F                                  E
The hills are alive with the sound of music,
     Dm                   Dm7                             Bb C7
With songs they have sung for a thousand years.
    F                                     E
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music.
   Dm                      Bb         C  C7   F
My heart wants to sing ev'ry song it hears.


                            Bb                  C                  Dm           F
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise
         Bb   C     F
from the lake to the trees.
            Bb            C                Dm            F
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
                G     G7       C
from a church on a breeze,
   Bb                  C                  Dm           F
to laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
              Bb  C       F
over stones on its way,
    Dm    Dm6        Am            Dm          G7          C
to sing through the night, like a lark who is learning to pray.


C7 F                                E
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
   Dm                                  Bb Bbm
I know I will hear what I've heard before.
    F                   Am                  Bb   Gm7
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
          Am   C7   F
and I'll sing once more.
