[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.
