Gary Moore – Over The Hills And Far Away (Guitar)

      Em
They came for him one winter's night

Em
Arrested, he was bound

Em
They said there'd been a robbery

Em
His pistol had been found

Em                       G
They marched him to the station house

    Em              D
He waited till the dawn

    Em               G
And as they led him to the dock

    D                   Em
He knew that he'd been wronged

    C     D/C        C      D/C
You stand accused of robbery

   Dsus4     D       Dsus4  D
He heard the bailiff say

   C       D/C      C  D/C
He knew without an alibi

  G/D      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   Em
A prisoner's life for him there'll be

   Em                  G
He knew that it would cost him dear

    Em              D
But yet he dare not say

     Em                     G
Just where he had been that fateful night

   D              Em
A secret, it must stay

   Cmaj7   D/C        C        D/C
He had to fight back tears of rage

    G/D         D      G/D   D
His heart beat like a drum

    Cmaj7     D/C    C         D/C
For with the wife of his best friend

      G/D       D                  D
He'd spent his final night of freedom

Em       G          D   Em
Over the hills and far away

    D        G       C        D
He swears he will return one day

Em            G         D       Em
Far from the mountains and the seas

     D       G    C          D
Back in her arms again he’ll be

Em       G          D   Cmaj7       Dadd4
Over the hills and far away_______

Cmaj7
Over the hills and, over the hills and

Dadd4                          Em    Em G Em D Em G D Em
Over the hills and far away___

     Cmaj7     D/C     C      D/C
Each night within his prison cell

   G/D        D          G/D    D
He looks out through the bars

    Cmaj7     D/C    C         D/C
He reads the letters that she wrote

    G/D        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
