Thread Name: Lyr/Chords: In the Hills of Shiloh (S Silverstein)
Subject: Tune Add: IN THE HILLS OF SHILOH (Shel Silverstein
I don't think I'd heard this tune before and the chords had me puzzled, but after closer examination the F#'s were a dead giveaway that this wasn't going to have trad chords in the key of A Minor. Normally I'd expect to see D Minor chords in a song of this sort, but Nope, they're just garden variety D chords.

The chords in the ABC version below are in " ".

X:1
T:Hills of Shilo
C:Shel Silverstein
M:4/4
L:1/8
Q:1/4=120
K:C
