Histam Yanhi Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Frank Sorgea

[CHORUS]
[C]There’s a mountain rising[F] up from the [C]valley
In the land where the[F] many rivers [G]flow
You can’t [C]see it very fa[F]r – But it [C]is my pointing[F] star
[C] Calling me back [G]to my mountain[C] home[F] [C]

[VERSE 1]

[C]Now I’ve traveled far[F] away from this[C] valley
Many are the[F] places I have [C]roamed
I have [C]seen the Northern[F] Lights – spent some[C] cold and lonely[F] nights
[C]Longing for the[F] friends I left back[G] home
[C]But always on my homeward[F] track - A load is [G]lifted off my[F] back
[C]Just as soon as I[G] see that rocky[C] dom[F]e.[C]

[CHORUS]

[C]There’s a mountain rising[F] up from the [C]valley
In the land where the[F] many rivers [G]flow
You can’t [C]see it very fa[F]r – But it [C]is my pointing[F] star
[C] Calling me back [G]to my mountain[C] home[F] [C]

[VERSE 2]

[C]Well the Maidu People[F] called it Histum[C] Yanhi
The land where the [F]spirit world resid[C]es
The land[C] was shared by[F] all – through[C] the winter and the[F] fall
[C](C) When the rivers rose t[F]o flood the valley[G] floor
[C]The Mountain did provide[F] and the[C] Peoples they did thriv[F]e
[C]On that Middle[G] Mountain I now call my[C] hom[F]e [C]

[VERSE 3]

[C]So if you’re ever traveling[F] through the Norther[C]n valley
Where the Yuba and the[F] Feather Rivers[G] run
Look to the[C] East and you will[F] see the vast Sierra[C]s
And if you look West[F] toward the setting[G] sun
You’ll[C] (C) behold that mountain[F] known as Histim[C] Yahni
Now you and Histim Yahn[G]i will be[C] one[F] [C]

[CHORUS]
[C]There’s a mountain rising[F] up from the [C]valley
In the land where the[F] many rivers [G]flow
You can’t [C]see it very fa[F]r – But it [C]is my pointing[F] star
[C] Calling me back [G]to my mountain[C] home[F] [C]
