The hills are alive with the sound of music, 
     Dm                   Dm7                             Bb C7 
With songs they have sung for a thousand years.

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.

from the lake to the trees.

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.

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.
