Castles in the air
by Don McLean


E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why
        A               E                 F#m7
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
   B7             E               F#m7
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  B7                E                F#m7
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
          A               E                    F#m7
where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
     B7                E               F#m7
I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you
   B7              E                F#m7
to say my last goodbye ,the love we knew
      B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
ain't worth another try.


F#m7                 B7              E
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
            A       A(G#bass) F#m7   F#7   B7    F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
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
              A    E    F#m7      F#7          B7   F#m7   B7 F#m7 B7
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain


E                   Emaj7
But how can words express
            A               E              F#m7
the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
     B7           E           F#m7
away from city strife, I need a
        B7           E              F#m7
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#m7
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
  B7            E               F#m7
Devoid of all romance the music playes
    B7            E                 F#m7
and everyone must dance I'm bowling out
  B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
I need a second chance.


F#m7                 B7              E
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
            A       A(G#bass) F#m7   F#7   B7    F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7
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
              A    E    F#m7      F#7          B7   F#m7   B7 F#m7 B7
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain


E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why
        A               E                 F#m7
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
   B7             E               F#m7
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  B7                E                F#m7
I want the world to share and castle walls
     B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
just lead me to despair.
