Echo On The Hill

verse 1 
N.C. 
Listen to the echo on the hill 
               A 
'A comin' your way 
       D      A         D              E 
It's decaying fast, the sound of yesterday 
E 
Listen to the echo on the hill 
              A 
That lonesome whine 
         D         A            D     A          E 
Like the rocks and rails or the crops at harvest time 
         D                A              E 
Like the swelling rush of water when the creeks are getting high 
       D               A               E 
Or the wind that comes sweeping up the mountain 
  G                 D                   A             E 
A familiar craze, a midnight blaze that permeates the horizon 


verse 2 
E 
Listen to the echo on the hill 
           A 
It's going away 
          D       A             D     A        E 
And we'll soon be washed in the light of a new day 
E 
Listen to the echo on the hill 
              A 
It never lets down 
         D        A           D          A       E 
It's the sound of home as you drift from town to town 
         D           A             E 
From the cozy little hollow to the big city shore 
         D          A               E 
You can ramble all around and back again 
        G               D               A                     E 
But the vibrations will follow you just like an old long lost friend

verse 3 
E 
Listen to the echo on the hill 
             A 
That clarion call 
         D        A             D    A  D       E G D 
When you hear its ring bring it home to one and all 
A       E 
One and all listen, listen 
N.C. 
Listen to the echo on the hill
