Over the hillside and down through the glen

Mile after mile I have searched but in vain
A augmentedA D MajorD
For the place where my dreams won't be drowned by the rain
G+G C majorC G+G A augmentedA
Over and over the lesson I've learned
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD C-G-D
Is the place I should be is where the home fires burn
