I Lost Something In The Hills chords by Sibylle Baier

These chords are the normal shapes relative to the original C tuning. You can search around for something
that fits your own tuning or voice, you could transpose this 5 half steps down (so the Dm is an Am) and put
a capo on III to match the original key and have fairly comfortable shapes, but it's up to you.


Dm

(verse)
Dm    C           Em
every time I shed tears
Dm     C          Em
in the last past years
Dm      C               Em
when I pass through the hills

(chorus)
         A      C
oh, what images return
     Dm         C
oh I yearn
         Dm           C
for the roots of the woods
     B         A       D                C
that origin of all my strong and strange moods
  Am       Dm           C
I lost something in the hills
  C        G           Em
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)
       Em               A        C             Dm
when I pass through the leg high grass I shall die
C          Dm            C
under the jasmin I shall die
          Dm    C
under the elder tree
      B               A             D          C
and I need not try to prepare for a new coming day
     C           G         F           C
where is it that fills the deepness I feel
B               G    Em        A
You will say I'm not Robin the Hood
    C   B       C         B      C
But how could I hide from top to foot
       Dm                    C
that I lost something in the hills
  C    G                Em
I lost something in the hills
     Am       Dm           C
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            C    Dm            C
oh I know further west these hills exist
Dm        C           Dm          C
marked by apple trees marked by a straight brook
     B       A    D              C
that leads me wherever I want it to
       Dm                    C
well I lost something in the hills
  C    G                Em
I lost something in the hills
      Am       Dm           C
oh, I lost something in the hills
