E Emaj7 E6 E F#m   B7


E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why
        E6               E                 F#m
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
   B7             E               F#m
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  B7                E                F#m
I want the world to share and castle walls
     B7            E     Emaj7      E6       E
just lead me to despair.


E                 Emaj7
Hills of forest green
          E6               E                    F#m
where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
     B7                E               F#m
I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you
   B7              E                F#m
to say my last goodbye ,the love we knew
      B7            E      Emaj7      E6       E
ain't worth another try.


F#m                  B7              E
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
            F#m            B7             E
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
F#m7                 B7               E
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
               F#m                B7             E      Emaj7    E6    E
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

E                   Emaj7
But how can words express
            E6               E              F#m
the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
     B7           E           F#m
away from city strife, I need a
        B7           E              F#m
country woman for my wife, I'm city born,
      B7               E       Emaj7     E6      E
but I love the country life.


E                Emaj7
For I can not be part
       A            E                F#m
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
  B7            E               F#m
Devoid of all romance the music plays
    B7            E                 F#m
and everyone must dance I'm bowing out
  B7               E       Emaj7     E6      E
I need a second chance.


F#m7                 B7              E
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
               F#m                B7             E
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
F#m7                  B7               E
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
               F#m                B7             E      Emaj7    E6    E
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain


E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why
        A               E                 F#m
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
   B7             E               F#m
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  B7                E                F#m
I want the world to share and castle walls
     B7            E      Emaj7     E6       E
just lead me to despair.
