Over The Hills And Far Away
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
F C G C F C G
[Verse 1]
C G
Throwing stones at the embassy,
Am Em
policeman come and arrested me,
F C
Paper at the university,
G
said I was a hero,
F C
And the wise old judge that I went before,
F C
wouldn't believe what I did it for,
F C Am
Said this is no way to stop the war,
F C G
But, how the hell would he know?
[Verse 2]
C G
Singing songs of dissolution,
Am Em
ban the bomb and beat pollution,
F C
Writing on walls about a revolution,
G
that's guaranteed to grow,
F C
And I see on the news some identity,
F C
with an old man's views on society,
F C Am
Said there's no room for guys like me,
C G C
But, how the hell would he know?
[Chorus]
C G
Over the hills and far away,
F C
I'm gonna understand one day,
F C
What the other half believe in,
G
if it's real or just deceiving,
C G
So until I find that day,
F C
I'll go along my way,
F C G
And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.
[Post-Chorus]
C G Am Em F C G
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
[Verse 3]
C G
Lying down across the roadway,
Am Em
almost lasted out the whole day,
F C
Drivers trying but there was no way,
G
left for them to go,
F C
And the wise old judge that we went before,
F C
wouldn't believe what we did it for,
F C Am
Said this is no way to help the poor,
F C G
But, how the hell would he know?
[Chorus]
C G
Over the hills and far away,
F C
I'm gonna understand one day,
F C
What the other half believe in,
G
if it's real or just deceiving,
C G
So until I find that day,
F C
I'll go along my way,
F C G
And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.
[Post-Chorus]
C G Am Em F C G C
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
F C
Over the hills and far away,
G C
merrily on my way.
F C F C F C G
[Verse 4]
C G
1995 came quickly,
Am Em
crept right up and now it's hit me,
F C
Seems the mayor of a busy city,
G
don't know where the days go,
C G
Build a bridge and move the highway,
Am Em
spend the rest and mend the byways,
F C
Someone wrote things across my driveway,
G
and someone broke my window,
F C
And I see on the news some identity,
F C
with a young man's views on society,
F C Am
Said there's no room for guys like me,
F C G
But, how the hell would he know.
[Chorus]
C G
Over the hills and far away,
F C
I'm gonna understand one day,
F C
What the other half believe in,
G
if it's real or just deceiving,
C G
So until I find that day,
F C
I'll go along my way,
F C G
And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.
[Post-Chorus]
C G Am Em F C G C
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
F C
Over the hills and far away,
G C
merrily on my way.
F C
Over the hills and far away,
G C
merrily on my way.
