"Hi Ho Silver Lining" is a rock song, written by American songwriters Scott English and Larry Weiss and first released as a single in March 1967 by The Attack, followed a few days later by Jeff Beck.[1] Because the Beck version charted first, the song is most often associated with him.

Jeff Beck version
The song was not included on the album Truth when first released in 1968 (but is a bonus track on the 2006 reissue). Beck performed "Hi Ho Silver Lining" live on the charity benefit show, the ARMS Charity Concert for Multiple Sclerosis, featuring an all-star jam with Steve Winwood and Simon Phillips in 1983.[2] The song was resurrected for the "Together and Apart" Japanese and US tours with Eric Clapton in 2009 and 2010.
