  			D                A             G      A
The fence is long and high where we live
      D                  A               G      A
You can't see the other side where they live
 D              A
I've spend with my little eye
G                    A
And I've sighed with my little sigh
         D               A              G      A
But it seems I've given all that I can give

Bm
Every hour I have to count to ten
         E
And a thousand times I've thought again
         D             A                G
But it seems I've given all that I can give

            D
Is anyone there
              A                   G        A
Here is the fence that they built - over there
            D
Is anyone there
              A                   G        A
Here is the fence that they built - over there
            D
Is anyone there
              A                   G        A
Here is the fence that they built - over there
            D
Is anyone there
              A                   G        A
Here is the fence that they built - over there

 D                            A        G      A
This is the fence that turns one into two
   D                               A         G      A
I want to break through but I'm through if I do
D               A
I've tried with my little try
G                   A
And I've cried with my little cry
         D                   A             G      A
But it seems that the gate holds the only clue

Bm
Every hour I have to count to ten
         E
And a thousand times I've thought again
         D             A                G
But it seems I've given all that I can give

            D
Is anyone there
