Hi Woodsie.

Sorry for the delay, I had to find the books.

Kelston round hill is in North Somerset, near Bath.
(For those like me who didn't know).

Hope this comes out all right for you.

KELSTON ROUND HILL

WORDS AND MUSIC BY CHRISTOPHER ROWE



1.

F#m                      E         F#m
Three trees stand on Kel - ston Round Hill,

A                        Bm      E
Sun-light gleams o'er fields so green

A                       F#m Bm                 E7
In those fields ev-'ry day,    two young children play

D                   C#7    F#m
Boy and girl to - geth-er seen.

                    C#                 F#m      E
And the trees stand tall o'er the boy and girl

    F#m         E            F#m
And wel-come the com-ing of spring



2.

Three trees stand on Kelston Round Hill,
Robed in leaves 'neath the summer sky;
Lovers now, hand in hand, stroll together and,
Kiss beneath the trees so high,
And the trees stand tall, giving shade to all
Who rest from the summer sun.


3.

Three trees stand on Kelston Round Hill,
Richly bronzed in the autumn sun;
He has gone far away, he'll come back they say,
When the battle's lost or won.
And the trees stand tall, and the dead leaves fall,
For the brave one's gone to war.


4.

Three trees stand on Kelston Round Hill,
Clad in winter's coat of snow;
Far away there he lies, can she realize,
He is dead, and she must go.
And the trees stand tall, and the wild winds call,
In vain, for there's none to hear.


5.

Three trees stand on Kelston Round Hill,
Seasons come and seasons go;
People live, people die, still the trees reply,
Man was made for joy and woe,
And the trees stand tall, and the shadows fall,
As the sun sets behind the hill.



Best wishes, have a lovely Christmas.

Cattail !

Hi again Woodsie, Thanks for the thanks, I'm so glad that I was able
to help you.

MMario, somewhere I have the record but havn't a clue how to get the
tune to you, (I don't have Email set on my machine, don't know how to)

This, and other songs are from "Songs of Grief and Glory", a modern
song competition, first broadcast on BBC 1 April 9 - May 21 1967.

As I said, I have the record and song books, so if anyone else
wants chords/lyrics, or the song list, I will (slowly) put them on
here.

Best wishes to you both.

Just found this thread as I was going through our old song records and looked up Kelston Round hill ( he actual hump!) This was written by Chris Rowe from his memory of the hill during his time at Kingswood School.
It was for the BBC competition Songs for Grief and Glory and came second. The only other recording I'm aware of was on our second LP Patterns of a Journey. Great song. Ian Clark
