The Fool On The Hill

Words & Music:

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

 

D6

 

D6              Em/D

Day after day, alone on the hill,

    D6                                   Em/D

The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.

    Em              A                  D6                   Bm

But nobody wants to know him, they can see that he's just a fool.

    Em7               A

And he never gives an answer.

 

CHORUS:

        Dm   Bb/D   Dm            Bb/D

But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down.

        C                        Dm(add 2)       Dm7   D6

And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round.

 

Well on the way, head in a cloud. 

The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud.

But nobody ever hears him, or the sounds he appears to make.

And he never seems to notice.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE:

Nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do.

And he never shows his feelings.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE:

And he never listens to them, he knows that they're the fools.

They don't like him.

 

CHORUS:
