Intro
G
Verse
GHere's forty shillings Con the drum
GFor those who volunDteer to come,
GTo 'list and fight the fCoe today
GOver the Hills and far awDay
Chorus
GO'er the hills and oC'er the main
GThrough Flanders, PortugDal and Spain
GKing George commands and wCe obey
GOver the hills and farD away
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
(Chorus)
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the fifes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
(Chorus)
Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
(Chorus) x4
By James Lewis & Taxi Andy!
