Intro: Fm

Verse 1:
Fm      Eb           Gm
  Every time I shed tears
Fm       Eb          Gm
  In the last past years
Fm       Eb                 Gm
  When I pass through the hills

Chorus:
G        C         Eb
Oh, what images return
      F          Eb
Oh, I yearn
         F            Eb
For the roots of the woods
     D         C       F               Eb
That origin of all my strong and strange moods
  Cm       F             Eb
I lost something in the hills
  Eb        Bb           G
I lost something in the hills

Verse 2:
Fm       Eb          Gm
  I grew up in declivities
Fm       Eb          Gm
  Others grow up in cities
Fm           Eb               Gm
  Where first love and soul takes rise

Verse 3:
Fm            Eb               Gm
  There where times in my life
Fm       Eb              Gm
  When I felt mad and deprived
Fm            Eb             Gm
  And only the slopes gave me hope

Chorus:
       G                C        Eb              Fm
When I pass through the leg high grass, I shall die
Eb           Fm              Eb
 Under the jasmine, I shall die
       Fm      Eb
In the elder tree
  D                 C             F        Eb
I need not try to prepare for a new coming day
     Eb           Bb         Ab           Eb
Where is it that fills the deepness I feel
D               Bb    Gm        C
You will say I'm not Robin the Hood
    Eb   D       Eb         D      Eb
But how could I hide from top to foot
       Fm                    Eb
That I lost something in the hills
  Eb    Bb               G
I lost something in the hills
      Cm       Fm           Eb
Oh, I lost something in the hills

Verse 4:
Fm      Eb                 Gm
  Now I lean on my window sill
Fm      Eb                Gm
  And I cry, though it's silly
Fm        Eb                   Gm
  And I'm dreaming of off and away

Chorus:
G     C            Eb    Fm            Eb
Oh, I know farther west these hills exist
Fm        Eb            Fm          Eb
Marked by apple trees, marked by a straight brook
     D       C    F              Eb
That leads me wherever I want it to
        Fm                    Eb
Well, I lost something in the hills
  Eb    Bb                G
I lost something in the hills
      Cm       Fm           Eb
Oh, I lost something in the hills

Biography

Sibylle Baier is a German folk singer and actress whose musical abilities achieved belated recognition with the 2006 release of the album Colour Green, compiled from songs she had recorded in the early 1970s.

Having played guitar and piano as a young girl, she was moved to write her first song, “Remember The Day”, after taking a road trip with a friend across the Alps to Genoa, via Strasbourg. She appeared in Wim Wenders’ 1973 film Alice in the Cities
