Nightwish – Over The Hills And Far Away (Ukulele)

     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

   D                   Em
he knew that he'd been wronged

    C
You stand accused of robbery

   D
he heard the bailiff say

   C
He knew without an alibi

  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

   Em                 G
He knew that it would cost him dear

    Em              D
but yet he dare not say

      Em               G
where he had been that fateful night

  D              Em
A secret it must stay

   C
He had to fight back tears of rage

    D
His heart beat like a drum

    C
For with the wife of his best friend

   D               Bm           D
he 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 is where he'll be

Em       G         D    C    Dsus4
Over the hills and far away

C
Over the hills and

D
over the hills and far away

     C
Each night within his prison cell

   D
he looks out through the bars

   C
He reads the letters that she wrote

    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 he swears she'll be

F#m      A         E    F#m
Over the hills and far away
