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.
