Main theme to “The Sound of Music” – a really nice and easy one to play, and it sounds so beautiful on the flute 🙂 Written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and sung in the film by Julie Andrews.

The hills are alive with the sound of music
F G F E D E F G-A Bb
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
^C ^D ^C Bb A G F E D E-E
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
E F G A Bb ^C-^D A-G F F
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
F F F E D D D E E E F
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
F A F E D E E F
That rise from the lake to the trees
F D D D E E E F F ^C
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
A F G G G G
From a church on a breeze
F D D D E E E F F
To laugh like a brook when it trips and
A F-E D E E F
Falls over stones on it’s way
F A F A E D E F
To sing through the night like a lark
G A B-C ^D ^C
Who is learning to pray
^C ^D ^C Bb A G F E D E-E
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
F G F E D E F G A-Bb
I know I will hear what I’ve heard before
B ^C A Bb ^C A Bb ^C ^C ^C-F
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
F Bb E E F
And I’ll sing once more…
