Sound of music       (Listen to midi)

 

    G ~          C                                                    B7

1.         The hills are alive with the sound of music,

             C                                          Am          Dm   - G

    with songs they have sung for a thousand years.

             C                                                     B7

    The hills fill my heart with the sound of music,

             C                   F               G    - G7     C

    my heart wants to sing every song       it hears.

 

        C                     F                 G               C          Am

My heart wants to beat like the wings of a bird that rise

               F     G         C

from the lake to the trees.

         F                   G                C             Am

My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies

               D7               G      - G7

from a church on a breeze.

       F                   G                 C           Am            F        G        C

To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way,

     Am                      D                                 D7               G  - G7

to sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray.

 

       C                                                B7

2. I go to the hills when my heart is lonely,

          C                                Am      Dm   - G

    I know I will hear what I heard before.

             C                                                           F

    My heart will be blessed with the sound of music,

                 G               C

    and I'll sing once more. (original changes key here)
