Over The Hills by The Tallest Man On Earth
Over The Hills
Am
Well, I could hear it, the river was crying
C
And I could see you through the fog
Am
And I could reach into magnetic fields, all
C
To steal a hammer and a gun
C E7
For every engine down
E7 F
Yes, I will find a new
F C
I'm going over the hills now
C E7
I'm going into the blue
Am
And I will tell it to the mighty wind that
C
I have betrayed it once again
Am
And I will listen to the backwards music
C
With a propeller in my hand
C E7
For every child in tears
E7 F
I will throw down a hand
F C
I'm going over the hills now
C E7
I'm going over as planned
Am
And every morning I will push a button
C
And bring the sun above our head
Am
And with a smiling face I do upon it
C
I will consider it as said
C E7
That every lie I tell
E7 F
Will arrive like it's true
F C
I'm going over the hills now
C E7
I'm going into the blue -Oh honey!
Am
And I will hijack every morning railroad
C
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
Am
Perhaps I'll turn the wheel to slide it over
C
Into the long and narrow trail
C E7
And I would bounce the moon
E7 F
On the earth if I could
F C
I'm going over the hills now
C E7
I'm going over now for good.

version 2
This song is performed in standard tuning with a capo on 6 and is fairly easy to play as
long as you get the timing right.
NB: The numbers in brackets denote the amount of bars you should play this chord for,
not the amount of strums you should do. It's difficult to convey the strumming pattern
through tablature so I would advise you to listen to the song to figure out the strumming.
Intro and verses (play twice over before singing begins)
(below are the syllables (from the 1st verse) which are sung at the same time as each
chord is first strummed to help you with timing)
'hear' '-ing' 'see' 'fog'
(x4) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x2) (x1) (x1)

Intro Am Am7 Am7/C C C/D? C F F
Verse Am Am Am7/C C C/D? C F F
The only difference between the intro and the verse is that he plays Am for four bars
and then moves straight onto the Am7/C chord.
Chorus-y bit
(again I've put the syllables of the words sung at the same time that each chord is
first played to help with timing)
'bound' 'new' 'hills' 'blue'

The song uses the same chord progression throughout. The only chord used in the song
which I haven't noted down is a variation on an F chord at 2:33 which is something like:
e---0-----|
B---4-----|
G---2-----|
D---3-----|

Lyrics
Well, I could hear it when the river's crying
And I could see it through the fog
And I could reach into magnetic fields, now
To steal a hammer and a gun
For heavy engine down
Yes, I will find a new
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going into the blue
And I will tell it to the mighty wind that
I have betrayed it once again
And I will listen to the backwards music
With a propeller in my hand
For every child in tears
I will throw down a hand
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going over as planned
And every morning I will push a button
And bring the sun above our head
And with a smiling face I drew upon it
I will consider it as sin
That every lie I tell
Will arrive like it's true
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going into the blue
Oh, honey!
And I will hijack every morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
Perhaps I'll turn the wheel to slide it over
Into the long and narrow grade
And I would bounce the moon
On the earth if I could
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going over now for good
---------------
