D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD D(abc#) D MajorD

D MajorD     D/C#     Dsus2/C   G/BG/B D MajorD
I heard a song that was taught to a baby
    A7A7        D MajorD  D(abc#) D MajorD
And it made the mountain sing
D MajorD    D/C#     Dsus2/C   G/BG/B
I knew a gift that was given to my lady
    A7A7     D MajorD  D(bc#ba) G/G
It was hidden in a dream
       G/G     D MajorD    D MajorD
And there's a light in the lowlands
   G/BG/B    D/C# Bm7Bm7 A7A7
And a river that runs so clean
   Am7/C G/BG/B     D MajorD  D MajorD
I'm a poor  man feelin' lazy
    A7A7     G/BG/B    D MajorD  D(abc#)
And the lowlands are callin' my name

(hymnal-like chant)
D MajorD D/C# Dsus2/C G/BG/B
D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD D(abc#) D MajorD
D D/C# Dsus2/C G/BG/B
D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD D(abc#) D MajorD

D MajorD    D/C#  Dsus2/C    G/BG/B   D MajorD
I knew a man who said he was a stranger
     A7A7         D MajorD  D(abc#)
Cause his heart he could not trust
D MajorD    D/C#  Dsus2/C      G/BG/B  D MajorD
I knew a man who could not face the dangers
   A7A7        D MajorD  D(bc#ba) G/G
Even though he knew he must
     G/G     D MajorD    D MajorD
And it's hard in the lowlands
    G/BG/B     D/C# Bm7Bm7 A7A7
And the grasses will turn to rust
    Am7/C G/BG/B D MajorD    D MajorD
But the sun  is a fountain
A7A7         G/BG/B    D MajorD  D(ef#ed) Am/C G/BG/B D MajorD
Flowing through the lowland's dust
