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.
