 The general pattern for this song is .
 Although, you can skip the d7 when you’re playing the “over the
 ..over the” part.
 Over  the houses
The  streets and the trees
Over  the dogs  down below
 They'll bark  at our  shadows
 As we  float by on  the breeze
Tonight  we fly
Over  the chimney  tops
Skylights  and slates  –
Looking  into all your  lives
And  wondering why
Happiness  is so hard to find
Over  the doctor,  over  the soldier
Over  the farmer,  over  the  poacher
Over  the preacher,  over  the gambler
Over  the teacher,  over the  rambler
Over  the lawyer,  over  the dancer
Over  the voyeur,  over  the builder and  the destroyer,
Over  the hills  and far away
Tonight we  fly
Over  the mountains
The  beach and the sea
Over  the friends  that we've  known
 And those  that we now know
And  those who  we've yet  to meet
And  when we die
Oh,  will  we be
That  disappointed
Or  sad
If  heaven doesn't exist
What  will we have missed
 This  life is the best we've ever  had
 You can also make it more original at the end by strumming the D7 down and start
 the decrease the speed and then finally add the G.
