Over The Next Hill

Fairport Convention

tom:

   B E      G#7 C#m
Forever, forever
    F#               B     E
The road goes on forever

[Verse]
E
If your wheels are burning up the miles
           A                 B
And you're wearing down shoe leather
         E
And your face is frozen in a smile
        A         B      E
And the road goes on forever
   B E      G#7 C#m
Forever, forever
    F#               B
The road goes on forever

[Chorus]
         E      B
Over the next hill..
A     B               E
Maybe there's good weather

[Instrumental]
E    A  B
E    A B  E

[Verse]
E
If you're flying over table top
     A                  B
Eyes wide with wine and wonder
   E
Or lazy counting kangaroos
       A      B         E
In the dingle days down under
     B E         G#7 C#m
Down under, down under
   F#                B
In dingle days, down under

[Chorus]
         E      B
Over the next hill..
        A       B           E
There's no more rain or thunder

[Instrumental]
E    A  B
E    A B  E  Bm

[Bridge]
                          A                  E        Bm
Though you chose the open road when you were willing
                               A                  E         Bm
To sing and dance and take the tambourine and the shilling
                          A                  E         Bm
All the secret tricks and footsteps you were learning
                             A                  B       A  B  A
But once the stone begins to roll, it's not the turning
               B  A  B  A
Like a rolling stone
                  B
With no direction home

[Instrumental]
E    A  B
E    A B  E
E    A  B
E    A B  E  Bm

[Bridge]
                          A                  E        Bm
Though you chose the open road when you were willing
                               A                  E         Bm
To sing and dance and take the tambourine and the shilling
                          A                  E         Bm
All the secret tricks and footsteps you were learning
                             A                  B       A  B  A
But once the stone begins to roll, it's not the turning
               B  A  B  A
Like a rolling stone
                  B
With no direction home

[Verse]
          E
If you're pacing in the dressing room
              A                 B
Where there's no fresh paint or windows
          E
Or you're strutting on some dusty stage
    A         B              E
And wondering where the time goes
    B    E         G#7  C#m
The time goes, the time goes
F#                       B
Wondering where the time goes

[Chorus]
         E      B
Over the next hill..
     A         B           E
They say there will be rainbows
    B   E     G#7 C#m
Oh, rainbows, rainbows
F#                 B
Somewhere over rainbows

[Chorus]
         E      B
Over the next hill..
A         B              E
Who knows where the time goes

[Outro]
E    A  B
E    A B  E
E    A  B
E    A B  E
