Chorus:
      A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA
Oh, those hills were tall and winding
     C# minorC#m       D MajorD
And the roads they did divide
     D MajorD      E MajorE    D MajorD
When we reached the top, we stopped
  G+G      D MajorD   E MajorE
To see over the side
     A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA
Oh, the fickle sea I've always loved
 C# minorC#m      D MajorD
Unto this very day
 D MajorD   E MajorE     F# minorF#m    E MajorE
I do recall that city far below
   G+G    D MajorD     A augmentedA
Just like a glistening bay

Verse 1:
   A augmentedA         Am7/E
And from the bay, they grew the sky
     D2/A     D/AD/A
And every universe was there
  A augmentedA        G+G   D MajorD    E MajorE
Reflecting all the surface of the earth
 A augmentedA        Am7/E
Upon the road, between my toes
  D2/A       D/AD/A
I felt blue grassy threads
    C majorC          E minorEm
And a chill wind caught my heart
        G+G   D MajorD    A augmentedA
And raised the hair upon my head

Verse 2:
  A augmentedA         Am7/E
I thought of home the whole night long
   D2/A       D/AD/A
And where the time had gone
  A augmentedA       G+G
I sat there on a high cliff top
 D MajorD        E MajorE
Upon the warming land
  A augmentedA         Am7/E
The perfumed cedars caught the wind
   D2/A     D/AD/A
Blown in from open sea
  C majorC        E minorEm
I hid a precious stone I held
  G+G    D MajorD     A augmentedA
Inside a weathered tree

Chorus:
      A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA
Oh, those hills were tall and winding
     C# minorC#m       D MajorD
And the roads they did divide
     D MajorD      E MajorE    D MajorD
When we reached the top, we stopped
  G+G      D MajorD   E MajorE
To see over the side
     A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA
Oh, the fickle sea I've always loved
 C# minorC#m      D MajorD
Unto this very day

Just like a glistening bay

Verse 3:
  A augmentedA        Am7/E
A augmentedA handful of small flowers
      D2/A      D/AD/A
Which were nestling in the grass
  A augmentedA         G+G
I tossed them to the sky
   D MajorD          E MajorE
And watched them as they danced
     A augmentedA       Am7/E
Oh, the fickle see I've always loved
 D2/A     D/AD/A
Unto this very day
  C majorC          E minorEm
I see those flowers go floating down
  G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA
Towards the glistening bay
