Over The Hills And Far Away - Nightwish | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
Em

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     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.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em Am D     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.

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
     C
"You stand accused of robbery,"
   D
He heard the bailiff say.
   C
He knew without an alibi,
  D                    B             D
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
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.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Em   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.

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   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               B            D
He spent his final night of freedom.

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
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 he swears he'll be.
Em       G         D    C
Over the hills and far away.

[Bridge]

      Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Dsus4                       Em
Over the hills and far away.

[Pre-Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Em     C
  Each night within his prison cell,
   D
He looks out through the bars.
   C
He reads the letters that she wrote.
    D                  B            D
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

[Break]
---------------------
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.
