[Verse 1]
    Em       A          F#m      Bm
Ten thousand miles even though I roam
      Em       F#          Bm
I can hear the call of the hills of home
    Em      A            F#m     Bm
The canyons high and the valleys low
      Em          B     Em
Echo "How can you stay away?"
[Verse 2]
   Em         A7              F#m   Bm
My dreams are there where the eagle flies
          Em       F#           Bm
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
    Em      A7              F#m        Bm
The winding streams and the winds that blow
        Em          B     Em
Ask me "How can you stay away?"
[Bridge]
G                   F#m     Bm
Far too long have I stayed apart
          Em          C          Bm
From this land that I love and denied my heart
G               F#m    Bm
Now, now I know I must go
          Em         B           Em
Where the hills say "Don't stay away!"
          Em             B   Em
                           [  ]
Where the hills say "Don't stay away!"
