Over The Hills And Far Away (acoustic)(Ukulele chords)

	        
Verse 
      E5 
They came for him one winter's night 
E5 
Arrested, he was bound 
E5 
They said there'd been a robbery 
E5 
His pistol had been found 

E5                       G5 
They marched him to the station house 
    E5              D5 
He waited till the dawn 
    E5               G5 
And as they led him to the dock 
    D5                  E5 
He knew that he'd been wronged 


Pre-Chorus 
    C     D/C        C      D/C 
You stand accused of robbery 
   G/D       D        G/D  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         Em         C          D 
For ten long years he'll count the days 
Em       G         D       Em 
Over the mountains and the seas 
  D           Em      C            D   E5 
A prisoner's life for him there'll be 


Verse 
   E5                  G5 
He knew that it would cost him dear 
    E5              D5 
But yet he dare not say 
     E5                     G5 
Just where he had been that fateful night 
   D5             E5 
A secret it must stay 


Pre-Chorus 
   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                          E5    Em G Em D Em G D Em 
Over the hills and far away___ 



Bridge 
     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 

F#m       A         E   F#m 
Over the hills and far away 
    E          A      D        E 
He swears he will return one day 
   F#m         A       E       F#m 
As sure as the river reach the sea 
     E       A       D            E 
Back in his arms is where she'll be

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 her arms is where he'll be 

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