Hills of my Home
Capo 2
G C G
G C G
Hills of my home I see so clearly
Em C D
Running from down south and way up north
Em C G
Committed now to my memory
G C G
Hills of my home ain?t there no more
G C G
G C G
Machines have sat atop the mountains
Em C D
What they did we allowed them to do
Em C G
We closed our eyes all the while
G C G
Now there?s nothing left in our view
C Em G
Did we care for what was given us?
C G
Are we better off than before?
C G
How long can this crop sustain us?
G C G
In the end where will we have to turn?
Instrumental:
C G C G C G C G
G C G
You say we?ve been put to the purpose
Em C D
What we gave gone on to the greater good
Em C G
But the giving was never about us
G C G
The greater good was never for the greater good
G C G
And if there?s money ?neath the ground I never seen it
Em C D
They took everything we ever had
Em C G
The soil and the streams above the coalfields
G C G
Are but a scar now upon a broken land
C Em G
Did we care for what was given us?
C G
Are we better off than before?
C G
How long can this crop sustain us?
G C G
In the end where will we have to turn?
Outro:
