G C He that is forced to go to fight
Hark! now the drums beat up again Will never win true honour by it,
G D For volunteers will win the day
For all true soldiers gentlemen, Over the hills and far away.
G C
Then let us list, and march I say, And it's over the hills and o'er the main,
G D Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
Over the hills and far away. Queen Anne commands and we'll obey,
Over the hills and far away.
G C
And it's over the hills and o'er the main, Although our friends our absence mourn
G D We with all honour shall return,
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. And we shall sing both night and day,
G C Over the hills and far away.
Queen Anne commands and we'll obey,
G D And it's over the hills and o'er the main,
Over the hills and far away. Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
Queen Anne commands and we'll obey,
Over the hills and far away.
