Chords with lyrics
These chords are the normal shapes relative to the original C majorC tuning. You can search around for something
that fits your own tuning or voice, you could transpose this 5 half steps down (so the DmDm is an A minorAm) and put
a capo on III to match the original key and have fairly comfortable shapes, but it's up to you.
DmDm
(verse)
DmDm C majorC E minorEm
every time I shed tears
DmDm C majorC E minorEm
in the last past years
DmDm C majorC E minorEm
when I pass through the hills
(chorus)
A augmentedA C majorC
oh, what images return
DmDm C majorC
oh I yearn
DmDm C majorC
for the roots of the woods
BB A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC
that origin of all my strong and strange moods
A minorAm DmDm C majorC
I lost something in the hills
C majorC G+G E minorEm
I lost something in the hills
(verse)
I grew up in declivities
others grow up in cities
where first love and soul takes rise
there where times in my life
when I felt mad and deprived
and only the slopes gave me hope
(chorus)
E minorEm A augmentedA C majorC DmDm
when I pass through the leg high grass I shall die
C majorC DmDm C majorC
under the jasmin I shall die
DmDm C majorC
under the elder tree
BB A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC
and I need not try to prepare for a new coming day
C majorC G+G FF C majorC
where is it that fills the deepness I feel
BB G+G E minorEm A augmentedA
You will say I'm not Robin the Hood
C majorC BB C majorC BB C majorC
But how could I hide from top to foot
DmDm C majorC
that I lost something in the hills
C majorC G+G E minorEm
I lost something in the hills
A minorAm DmDm C majorC
Oh I lost something in the hills
(verse)
Now I lean on my window sill
and I cry, though it's silly
and I'm dreaming of off and away
(chorus)
A augmentedA C majorC DmDm C majorC
oh I know further west these hills exist
DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC
marked by apple trees marked by a straight brook
BB A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC
that leads me wherever I want it to
DmDm C majorC
well I lost something in the hills
C majorC G+G E minorEm
I lost something in the hills
A minorAm DmDm C majorC
oh, I lost something in the hills
