The Fool on the Hill '67
The Beatles
(Written and sung by Paul McCartney)
[credited to Lennon/McCartney]
D
Day after day,
G
Alone on a hill,
D Bm G Em
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
G A
But nobody wants to know him,
D Bm
They can see that he's just a fool,
G A
And he never gives an answer,
Dm Gm Dm
But the fool on the hill,
Gm7
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
E7 A7 D
See the world spinning 'round.
Em7
D
Well on the way,
G
Head in a cloud,
D Bm G Em
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
G A
But nobody ever hears him,
D Bm
or the sound he appears to make,
G A
and he never seems to notice,
Dm Gm Dm
But the fool on the hill,
Gm7
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
E7 A7 D
See the world spinning 'round.
Em7
(Instrumental Break)
[D G D Bm G Em]
G A
And nobody seems to like him,
D Bm
they can tell what he wants to do,
G A
and he never shows his feelings,
Dm Gm Dm
But the fool on the hill,
Gm7
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
E7 A7 D
See the world spinning 'round.
Em7
D G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Bm G Em
Round, round, round, round, round
G A
And he never listens to them,
D Bm
He knows that they're the fools
G A
They don't like him,
Dm Gm Dm
But the fool on the hill,
Gm7
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
E7 A7 D Em7
See the world spinning 'round.
D
Ooh,
G
Round, round, round, round
D
Ooh
