Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm C Em
Every time I shed tears
Dm C Em
In the last past years
Dm C Em
When I pass through the hills
[Chorus]
E A C
Oh, what images return
D C
Oh, I yearn
D C
For the roots of the woods
B A D C
That origin of all my strong and strange moods
Am D C
I lost something in the hills
C G E
I lost something in the hills
[Verse 2]
Dm C Em
I grew up in declivities
Dm C Em
Others grow up in cities
Dm C Em
Where first love and soul takes rise
[Verse 3]
Dm C Em
There where times in my life
Dm C Em
When I felt mad and deprived
Dm C Em
And only the slopes gave me hope
[Chorus]
E A C Dm
When I pass through the leg high grass, I shall die
C Dm C
Under the jasmine, I shall die
Dm C
In the elder tree
B A D C
I need not try to prepare for a new coming day
C G F C
Where is it that fills the deepness I feel
B G Em A
You will say I'm not Robin the Hood
C B C B C
But how could I hide from top to foot
Dm C
That I lost something in the hills
C G E
I lost something in the hills
Am Dm C
Oh, I lost something in the hills
[Verse 4]
Dm C Em
Now I lean on my window sill
Dm C Em
And I cry, though it's silly
Dm C Em
And I'm dreaming of off and away
[Chorus]
E A C Dm C
Oh, I know farther west these hills exist
Dm C Dm C
Marked by apple trees, marked by a straight brook
B A D C
That leads me wherever I want it to
Dm C
Well, I lost something in the hills
C G E
I lost something in the hills
Am Dm C
Oh, I lost something in the hills
