John Tams - Over The Hills And Far Away
 
 
G                      C/G
Here's forty shillings on the drum
    G              D
For those who volunteer to come,
    G                  C/G
To 'list and fight the foe today
Cadd9/G            D
Over the Hills and far away
 
 
CHORUS:
G                  C/G
O'er the hills and o'er the Main
        G              D
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
     G                   C/G
King George commands and we obey
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
 
 
     G             C/G
When duty calls me I must go
   G               D
To stand and face another foe
    G                 C/G
But part of me will always stray
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
 
 
CHORUS:
G                  C/G
O'er the hills and o'er the Main
        G              D
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
     G                   C/G
King George commands and we obey
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
 
 
   G                C/G
If I should fall to rise no more
   G             D
As many comrades did before
     G                 C/G
Then ask the fifes and drums to play
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
 
 
CHORUS:
G                  C/G
O'er the hills and o'er the Main
        G              D
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
     G                   C/G
King George commands and we obey
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
 
 
     G              C/G
Then fall in lads behind the drum
     G               D
With colours blazing like the sun
 G                C/G
Along the road to come what may
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
 
 
CHORUS:  (4x)
G                  C/G
O'er the hills and o'er the Main
        G              D
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
     G                   C/G
King George commands and we obey
Cadd9/G            D
Over the hills and far away
