[Verse 1]
       Em           G 
In the heart of the mountains, 
C           G
Gold gently shines;
       Am       Em
Not in coins or crowns
       G           B7
But in rice that defines.
          Em     G 
There's a legacy carved
       C        G
By the hands of time
    Am       Em 
Oh, Banaue's steps
  G             B7
Majestic and sublime.

[CHORUS]
   Em G             D 
Oh Ifugao, you're a living art 
  Am
divine
          C        D 
Cradle of culture, spirit, 
    G
and sign.
D       G      D
In your hands, golden grains 
     Am
grow true
         C
And your women hold grace
    Am         [ Em ]
The world never knew

[Verse 2]
       Em      G 
As the morning wakes
         C         G
With the breath of trees
          Am   Em
There's a lullaby
G                 B7
Whispering in the breeze.
          Em           G 
Stone and wood tells a tale
   C        G
Of warriors brave
      Am         Em    B7
And a heart that never fails.

[CHORUS]
   Em G             D 
Oh Ifugao, you're a living art 
  Am
divine
          C        D 
Cradle of culture, spirit, 
    G
and sign.
D       G      D
In your hands, golden grains 
     Am
grow true
         C
And your women hold grace
    Am          
The world never knew

[BRIDGE]
Am 
Every table served, 
     D        G 
each grain of rice
      G             Am
Is a story, a labor of love.
         C             D
In every woman—mother, maiden, 
   G
or child
       F
Is the fire of the mountains
Em         B7
Fierce and wild.

[CHORUS 2]
   Em G 
Oh Ifugao, 
           D            Am
you're the jewel of the land
            C
With silver steps carved 
   D      G
by sacred hands
D        G      D
In these lands, golden grains 
     Am
grow true
         C
And your women hold grace
    Am          G
The world never knew

[CHORUS 3]
 D  
(The land it speaks 
   Am
in winds and streams)
C           D      G
(With every echo—ancestral dreams)
D        G      D
In these lands, golden grains 
     Am
grow true
         C
And your women hold grace
    Am        [ Em ]
The world never knew
