Em D
They came for him one winter's night
Em D
Arrested he was bound
Em D
They said there'd been a robbery
C D Em
his pistol had been found
Em G
They marched him to the station house
Em D
he waited for the dawn
Em G
And as they led him to the dock
DEm
he knew that he'd been wronged
CD Em D
You stand accused of robbery
G D Em D
he heard the bailiff say
C D Em D
He knew without an alibi
G D Bm D
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom -
Em G D Em
Over the hills and far away
D G C D
for ten long years he'll count the days
Em G D Em
Over the mountains and the seas
D G C D
a prisoner's life for him there'll be
EmG
He knew that it would cost him dear
Em D
but yet he dare not say
Em G
Just where he'd been that fateful night
D Em
a secret it must stay
CD Em D
He had to fight back tears of rage
G D Em D
His heart beat like a drum
C D Em D
For with the wife of his best friend
G D Bm D
he spent his final night of freedom -
Em G D Em
Over the hills and far away
D G C D
for ten long years he'll count the days
Em G D Em
Far from the mountains and the seas
D G C D
a prisoner's life for him there'll be
Em G D Em D
Over the hills and far away
Em
Over the hills and
over the hills and
D
over the hills and far away
Solo
CD Em D
Each night within his prison cell
G D Em D
he looks out through the bars
C D Em D
He reads the letters that she wrote
G D Bm D
One day he'll know the taste of freedom -
Em G D Em
Over the hills and far away
D G C D
she prays he will return one day
Em G D Em
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
D G C D
back in his arms again she'll be
F#m A E F#m
Over the hills and far away
E A D E
she prays he will return one day
F#m A E F#m
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
E A D E
back in his arms again she'll be
F#m A E F#m
Over the hills and far away
E A D E
she prays he will return one day
F#m A E F#m
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
E A D E
back in his arms again she'll be
