[Verse 1]
[G]O 'er the hills and o 'er the m[Em]ain
Through
[D]Flander[G] s,
Portugal and
[D]Spain
[G]King
George commands and we obey
[C]Over [G]the[A] hills [G]an d f[Cm]ar away[D]
And we [G]sailed out of
[Csus2]England
[D]Bound [G]for
Lisbon [D]harbour
[G]With bayonets gleaming
and [C]pride to the [D]fore
[G]We little to hold but we tried
[C]hard to cherish[A]
[G]The thoughts of our [C]loved
ones [D]on
England's [C]fair [Bm]shore[Am][C][Bm][Am]
[D]An d [G]soon we were trans[C]ported
[D]to [G]hell and its [D]fury
[G]Through smoke and through [Bm]fire,
[G]through sho[C]t and through fla[D]me
An[G]d at
Tel
[Bm]Aviv we stole
[C]Boni's eag[A]le
[G]And in that short [C]time we were [D]heroes of
[C]Spa[Bm]in[Am][C][Bm][Am]
And I [G]met with a maiden,
[D]her[G] black as a rav[D]en
[G]Her eyes they [Bm]did [G]blister
[C]like two diamonds [D]bright
[G]We spoke not a [Bm]word [G]at our [C]very first [A]meeting
[G]I lay in your a[C]rms all t[D]hat long,
[C]Spanish [Bm]night[Am]
[C][Bm][G][Bm][Am]
And [D]we [G]traveled together [D]on
[G]mountain and val[D]ley
An[G]d she by my side to
[C]win many's the [D]fight
[G]She tended [Bm]my soulfr[G]ing
[Bm]and she sowe[C]d me a pity[A]
[G]And bore me a [C]daughter [D]for my heart's
[C]del[Bm]ight[Am][C][Bm][Am]
And [D]we [G]marched into
[D]Lisbon, [G]proud of
Wellington's [D]army
[G]But war being [Bm]over[G],
[C]it's all worth the [D]bound
An[G]d all on the q[Bm]uays[G]ide,
[C]a -we[A]eping, a -wailing
[G]Four thousand [C]women [D]left on [C]that cold
[Bm]road[Am][C][Bm][Am]
[D]Farewell [G]and adi[Bm]eu, to [G]you[C]
Spanish [D]lady
[Am]Farewell and [D]adieu to you [Am]ladies of
[D]Spain
[G]We've received orders to
[C]sail home to
[D]England
But I [G]know in some [C]time we'll re
[D]turn once [Csus2]again[C][Csus2]
Once [D]again[C][Csus2][D]
And [G]if ever I'm re[C]turnin'
[D]It's with gol[G]d and great plenty
[D]And i[G]f I return,
it's [C]with gold and [D]great store
[G]I'll search far and [Bm]wide [G]for my[C]
Spanish [A]lady
[G]Who brought me such [C]peace in the [D]midst
of [C]such [Bm]war[Am][C][Bm][Am]
[G]Farewell and adieu [C]to you
Spanish [D]lady
[Am]Farewell and [D]adieu to you,
[Am]ladies of
[D]Spain
[G]We've [Bm]received or[G]ders
[C]to sail home to
[D]England
But [G]I know in some [C]time we'll
re[D]turn once [C]again
[G]Farewell and adieu [Bm]to yo[G]u,[C]
Spanish [D]lady
[Am]Farewell and [D]adieu to you [Am]ladies of
[G]Spa[D]in
[G]We've [Bm]received or
[G]ders to [C]sail on to
[D]England
But I [G]know that in some [C]time we'll
re[D]turn once [Csus2]again[C]
[Csus2]And again[G] and again[C][D][C]
[D]Once again, [C]once again, [D]once again
O 'er the hills and o 'er the main
In
Flanders,
Portugal, and
Spain
King
George commands, and we obey
Over the hills and far [D]away
