   F7M                                                E  
The hills are alive with the sound of music  
     F6                          Dm7                        Gm7  C7   
With songs they have sung for a thousand years  
        F                                                       E  
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music  
       F6                   Dm7        Bb        C7 F  
My heart wants to sing every song it hears  
                   Bb             Gdim                         F      Dm7  
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds  
                Bb                   Gdim    F  
That rise from the lake to    the trees  
                Bb                 Gdim                 F      Dm7  
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies  
              G7     G5-/7  C7  
From a church on   a    breeze  
              Bb      Gdim              F            Dm7  
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls   
         Bb      Bbdim  F    
Over stones on   its way  
      Dm     Dm6       Am    Dm6         G7                       C7  
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray  
  F7M                                           E        
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely  
   F6                Dm7                             Bb Bbm  
I know I will hear what I´ve heard before  
       F7M                    Am                    Bb    Am7  
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music  
             Gm7   C7   F7M  
And I´ll sing once more
