Fool On the Hill

FOOL ON THE HILL                Paul McCartney


[Intro]

D6      D6

 

[Verse 1]

D6              Em/D

day after day, alone on a hill

    D6                Em/D

the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still

    Em7               A7               D6                Bm7

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

    Em7                A7

and he never gives an answer

 

[Chorus 1]

         Dm  Bb/D  Dm            Bb/D

but the fool on the hill sees the sun going down

        C7                Dm              Dm7   D6

and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

 

[Verse 2]

D6                Em/D

well on the way, his head in a cloud

    D6                Em/D

the man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud

    Em7         A7                D6                Bm7

but nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make

    Em7                A7

and he never seems to notice

 

[Chorus 2]

         Dm  Bb/D  Dm            Bb/D

but the fool on the hill sees the sun going down

         C7                Dm              Dm7   D6

and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

 

[Solo]

D6      D6      Em/D    Em/D

D6      D6      Em/D    Em/D

 

[Verse 3]

    Em7             A7                D6                Bm7

and nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do

    Em7                A7

and he never shows his feelings

 

[Chorus 3]

          Dm  Bb/D  Dm            Bb/D

 but the fool on the hill sees the sun going down

        C7                Dm              Dm7

and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

D6            Em/D    D6                Em/D

  oh______  oh______  round, round, round, round, round

 

[Verse 4]

    Em7              A7          D6                Bm7

and he never listens to them, he knows that they're the fool

Em7           A7

   they don't like him

 

[Chorus 4]

         Dm  Bb/D  Dm            Bb/D

but the fool on the hill sees the sun going down

         C7                Dm              Dm7

and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

 

[Outro]

D6          Em/D

  oh______  round, round, round, round and...
