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
