Verse 1:
    C           D        G
I'm going up to Chestnut Hill, my dear
    Em                 D       C
I'm hoping that you'll meet me there
    C      D            G
The way is steep but we know it well
    Em        D        G
The path laid down by years
    C           D      G
The leaves have fallen free and clear
     Em          D         C
From boughs once green and small
    C    D        G
And I recall each step with you
        Em       D        G
Through sentinel trees so tall

Instrumental:
C  D  G  D  C  C

Verse 2:
    C           D        G
I'm going up to Chestnut Hill, my dear
   Em             D       C
To see you in the morning sun
    C              D           G
The breeze and the birds still sing your name
   Em         D       G    G
Although your time is done

Chorus:
D           C
   I try to see
    C                G
The hope between the Chestnut trees
        G               D             Em C
But the without you the light is weak
   C                  G            D C
My body aches and the way is steep

Verse 3:
    C           D        G
I'm going up to Chestnut Hill, my dear
      Em       D         C
Where once you stood with me
    C          D             G
Our hands held tight and our feet stood firm
       Em        D         G
As the wind blew threw the trees
C          D               G
Ferns will grow where your feet once tread
    Em          D     C
The stream will run beside
    C      D       G
And I will always long for you
   Em      D     G    G
To be back by my side

Chorus:
D        C
   I can see
    C                G
The hope between the Chestnut trees
G             D        Em C
Springing up around me
     C              G             D         C
I'll relearn how to climb this peak without you

Ending:
C               D        G
I'm going up to Chestnut Hill alone
Em                 D       C
Hoping that you'll meet me there
C             D            G
The woods are solemn but I hear a song
Em          D            G
Calling out from you, my dear
