    Over The Hills and Far Away

(C) If I should fall to (F) rise no more
As (C) many comrades (G) have before
(C) Then ask the pipes and (F) drums to play
(C) Over the hills and (G) far away.

Though I may travel far from Spain
A part of me shall still remain
For you are with me night and day
Over the hills and far away.

(C) O'er the hills and (F) o'er the Main
Through (C) Flanders, Portu (G) gal and Spain
King (C) George commands and (F) we obey
(C) Over the hills and (G) far away.

Through smoke and fire and shot and shell
And to the very walls of Hell
But here we stand and we shall stay
Over the hills and far away.

Here's forty shillings on the drum
To those who'll volunteer to come
To list and fight - to fall today
Over the hills and far away.

O'er the hills and o'er the Main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away.

Note: You can hear the tune here.
