   F                                 E 
The hills are alive with the sound of music 
     F6                                   Bb C7 
With songs they have sung for a thousand years 
   F                                       E 
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music 
   F              Bb        C     C7   F 
My heart wants to sing every song it hears 
                   Bb           Bbdim 
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds 
                      Bb   Bbdim    F 
that rise from the lake to    the trees 
    Bb            Bbdim 
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies 
         G7   G5-/7  C 
From a church on a breeze 
   Bb            Bbdim     F 
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls  
     Bb      Bbdim  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                                 
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely 
                                        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
