Lyrics

Day af ter day,

a (Em)lone on a hill,

the (D6)man with the fool ish grin is keep ing (Em)per fect ly still.

But (Em7)no bod y wants to know him, they can (D6)see that he’s just a fool.

And (Em7)he nev er gives an an swer, but the (Dm)fool (Bb)on the hill sees the sun go ing down, and the eyes in his head see the world spin ning ’round.

Well on the way,

a (Em)head in a cloud,

the (D6)man of a thou sand voic es talk ing (Em)per fect ly loud.

But (Em7)no bod y ev er hears him, or the (D6)sound he ap pears to make.

And (Em7)he nev er seems to no tice, but the (Dm)fool (Bb)on the hill sees the sun go ing down, and the eyes in his head see the world spin ning ’round.

(Em7)No bod y seems to like him, they can (D6)tell what he wants to do,

and (Em7)he nev er shows his feel ings, but the (Dm)fool (Bb)on the hill sees the sun go ing down, and the eyes in his head see the world spin ning ’round.

(Em7)He nev er lis tens to them, they he (D6)knows what that they’re the fools,

and (Em7)he nev er they don’t like him, but the (Dm)fool (Bb)on the hill sees the sun go ing down, and the eyes in his head see the world spin ning ’round.
