[Verse]
G           D Em           C        G
Must've been    in late September
            D       G   D/F#    Em    G
When last I climbed     Reunion Hill
         D    Em           C       G
I fell asleep    on Indian Boulder
              D     G   D/F#     G     D
And dreamed a dream   I will not tell
       D                    G     D
I came home as the sun went down
        C                D       G
One eye trained upon the ground
     D   Em              C       G
Even now    I find their things
         D      G     D/F#   G
Glasses, coins,   and golden rings

[Verse]
         D     Em                    C     G
It's ten years     since that ragged army
        D           G  D/F#      Em    G
Limped across these    fields of mine
            D      Em              C       G
I gave them bread,     I gave them brandy
            D     G  D/F#      G      D
But most of all I    gave them time
           C     G                  D
My well is deep,    the water pure
                G               D      G
The streams are fed by mountain lakes
              D    Em            C        G
I cleaned the brow     of many a soldier
        D      G  D/F#      G          C
Dousing for my    husband's face

[Bridge]
                   G       D     C
I won't forget our sad farewell
                 G          D
And how I ran to climb that hill
                       C                 D
Just to watch him walk across the valley
        C              G
And disappear into the    trees

[Verse]
            D Em              C    G
Along there       in a sea of blue
           D     G D/F# Em    G
It circles every   afternoon
         D    Em                C    G
A single hawk    in God's great sky
        D         G D/F#      G      D
Looking down with   God's own eyes
          C    G          D
He soars above    Reunion Hill
          C             D      G
I pray he spiral higher still
           D    Em        C    G
As if from such    an altitude
              D    G     D/F#    G
He might just keep   our love in view

            D       G   D/F#    Em    G
When last I climbed     Reunion Hill
