Intro G Verse G C Here's forty shillings on the drum G D For those who volunteer to come, G C To 'list and fight the foe today G D Over the Hills and far away Chorus G C O'er the hills and o'er the main G D Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain G C King George commands and we obey G D Over the hills and far away When duty calls me I must go To stand and face another foe But part of me will always stray Over the hills and far away (Chorus) If I should fall to rise no more As many comrades did before Then ask the fifes and drums to play Over the hills and far away (Chorus) Then fall in lads behind the drum With colours blazing like the sun Along the road to come what may Over the hills and far away (Chorus) x4 By James Lewis & Taxi Andy!
