D         D/C#          Dsus2/C     G/B  D
I heard a song that was taught to a baby
       A7                D   D(abc#) D
And it made the mountain sing
D        D/C#          Dsus2/C     G/B
I knew a gift that was given to my lady
       A7          D    D(bc#ba)  G/G
It was hidden in a dream
              G/G          D       D
And there's a light in the lowlands
      G/B        D/C# Bm7 A7
And a river that runs so clean
      Am7/C  G/B         D   D
I'm a poor   man feelin' lazy
        A7          G/B        D   D(abc#)
And the lowlands are callin' my name

(hymnal-like chant)

D        D/C#    Dsus2/C       G/B     D
I knew a man who said he was a stranger
          A7                 D    D(abc#)
Cause his heart he could not trust
D        D/C#    Dsus2/C            G/B    D
I knew a man who could not face the dangers
     A7                D   D(bc#ba)  G/G
Even though he knew he must
         G/G         D       D
And it's hard in the lowlands
        G/B          D/C# Bm7 A7
And the grasses will turn to  rust
        Am7/C  G/B  D       D
But the sun    is a fountain
A7                 G/B        D   D(ef#ed) Am/C G/B  D
Flowing through the lowland's dust
