Come by the Hills
Traditional - I love the thoughts and images in this one... I am not sure whether "loughs" is pronounced "lows" or "luffs" - anyone know? This might be a good opener or closing song for a bardic....C F C F C
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
F C G G7
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea
C F C G
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun,
C F C F C
And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.C F C F C
Come to the hills___ where life is but a song
F C G G7
And sing where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
C F C G
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
C F C F C
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.C F C F C
Come by the hills to the land where legend remains
F C G G7
Where stories of old fill the heart and they yet come again
C F C G
Where our past has been lost and our future has still to be won
C F C F C
And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.C F C F C
And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.
