[Verse 1] G C G D Here's forty shillings on the drum, for those who volunteer to come, G C G D To 'list and fight the foe today, Over the Hills and far away. [Chorus] G C G D O'er the hills and o'er the main, Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. G C G D King George commands and we obey, Over the hills and far away. [Verse 2] G C G D When duty calls me I must go, to stand and face another foe G C G D But part of me will always stray, Over the hills and far away [Chorus] G C G D O'er the hills and o'er the main, Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. G C G D King George commands and we obey, Over the hills and far away. [Verse 3] G C G D If I should fall to rise no more, as many comrades did before G C G D Then ask the fifes and drums to play, Over the hills and far away [Chorus] G C G D O'er the hills and o'er the main, Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. G C G D King George commands and we obey, Over the hills and far away. [Verse 4] G C G D Then fall in lads behind the drum, with colours blazing like the sun G C G D Along the road to come what may, Over the hills and far away [Chorus] G C G D O'er the hills and o'er the main, Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. G C G D King George commands and we obey, Over the hills and far away. (x4)
