Day after day, alone on a hill 
     D6                                    G/D
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still, 
     Em7            A7                D                  Bm
And nobody wants to know him they can see that he's just a fool 
         Em7              A7         Dm7
And  he never gives an answer but the fool on the hill
Bb/D
Sees the sun going down 
         C                        Dm                D6
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round
                 G/D
Well on the way, head in a cloud,
 D6                                      G/D
The man of thousand voices talking perfectly loud, 
     Em7               A7           D               Bm
And nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make 
    Em7           A7                 Dm
And he never seems to notice but the fool on the hill
                    Bb/D
Sees the sun going down
         C                        Dm                D6
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

     Em7                   A7              Dm
And he never shows his feelings but the fool on the hill
