I remember one night, June and I were driving from Denver to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where we
were going to do that show at that rodeo, the granddaddy of them all, you know, the
biggest rodeo in the [F] world.
And we'd been driving quite a while, traveling quite a while, and the night was clear and
you could see for miles, and we were topping a hill.
And I said, I bet we'll be able to see Cheyenne from the top of this hill.
[D]
And she [C#] said, yeah, [D] it'd be nice if over this next hill we'd be home.
I said, [E] that's a good song [D#] title.
And I said, make a good spiritual.
I stopped the car, I let her drive while I wrote, Over the Next [F] Hill, We'll Be Home.
[B]
By the way the land is laying, [Em] I think I'd be safe in saying, [B] [B] that over the next hill
we'll [F#] be home.
[B] It's a straight and narrow highway, [E] no detour and no byways, and over the next [F#] hill we'll [B] be home.
[E] From the prophets I've been hearing, [B] I would say the end is nearing, for I see familiar
landmarks [F#] all along.
[B] By the dreams that I've been dreaming, [E] there will come a great [B] redeeming, and over the
next hill we'll be home.
By the speed that we've been making, I [Em] would say there's no mistaking, [B] that over the next
hill we'll [F#] be home.
[B] There's a place that we are nearing, [E] that so many have been fearing, [B] and over the [F#] next
hill we'll [B] be home.
When [Em] we get there [B] we're all hoping, [B] that we'll find the gate is open, and there'll be a refuge
from the coming [F#] storm.
For [B] the way has been long and weary, [E] but at last the end is nearing, and over the next
[F#] hill we'll be [B] home.
