(PERCY, spoken)
Who's Thalia?
(GROVER, spoken)
You're not the first half-blood I was sent to protect. I should've told you, but I-I thought that if I did, 
you'd never want me on this quest. If you knew what a failure I was. Ask Annabeth.
[Verse 1]
           G           D         Em        C
There's a tree on the hill upon halfblood hill
             G    D  Em         C
That watches over us silent and still
    G         D       Em    C
And no one at camp is safe until
G      C       D           G
We can see the tree on the hill
(GROVER, spoken)
This was way before I met you. Chiron sent me to escort three half-bloods back to camp. 
Two were runaways. One was Annabeth. The other was Luke. The third was Thalia.
Tough girl. Like her dad... Zeus.
(PERCY, spoken)
I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods.
(GROVER, spoken)
You are now. We'd only made it back to camp, but I got nervous and we got lost and by the time we 
found the hill... something else found us.
[Verse 2]
    G            D         Em        C
And there on the hill upon halfblood hill
  G         D    Em       C
A cold wind blew dark and chill
    G            D         Em       C
For nothing will slake its wrathful will
   G      C      D
We had to make a stand
[Bridge]
     Em
And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver
C
Maybe if I'd stayed behind to fight
     D
But maybe doesn't let me go back and save her
G              C         D
Maybe doesn't make it alright
(GROVER, spoken)
Thalia saved us. We only survived because she stayed to hold off the monsters. She paid for her sacrifice 
with her life. That's when Zeus showed up.
(PERCY, spoken)
He saved her... right?
(GROVER, spoken)
It was too late for that. As she died, he turned her into a tree, so she could stand protecting us, forever. 
The way I couldn't do for her.
[Verse 3]
            G          D         Em        C
There's a tree on the hill upon halfblood hill
       G          D       Em     C
That protects us all and always will
          G        C     Em
And it's there reminding me
    G      C       Am
Of all I failed to be
     D              G
The tree... on the hill
