Come By The Hills

COME BY THE HILLS Time: 3/4 Tenor: G Bass: C

- Music: Traditional Gaelic (Buachaill On Eirne)

1 4 1 4 1 *

Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free

1 4 1 4 5 *

And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea

1 6m 4 1 5 *

Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun

1 4 1 4 57 1 *

Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done

1 4 1 4 1 *

Oh, come by the hills to the land where life is a song

1 4 1 4 5 *

And sing while the birds fill the air with their joy all day long

1 6m 4 1 5 *

Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune

1 4 1 4 57 1 *

Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done

1 4 1 4 1 *

Come by the hills to the land where legend re-mains

1 4 1 4 5 *

Where stories of old fill the heart and may yet come a-gain

1 6m 4 1 5 *

Where our past has been lost and the future has still to be won

1 4 1 4 57 1 *

Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done
