Don McLean - Castles in the Air: chords

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

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch
the sky
A dream come true, I'll live there till I die
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
The love we knew ain't worth another try

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

But how can words express the feel of sunlight
in the morning
In the hills, away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife;
I'm city born, but I love the country life

For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation:
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out. I need a second chance

Chorus

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that
I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air
I've got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair
