Castles in the Air

Don McLean

          E             E7         A              E  
1. And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
           F#m7      B7            E
   That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
            F#m7      B7               E              F#m7
   I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
        B7            E   E7 E6 E
   Just leave me to despair
   
2. Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
   A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
   I'm asking you, to say my last goodbye the love we knew, 
   ain't worth another try

   F#m7               B7             E
R: Save me from all the trouble and the pain
              A      A/G#    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 Fm7 B7
   Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

3. Oh, 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
   
4. For I can not be part of her "Cocktail-Generation Partner's Waltz,"
   Devoid of all romance
   The music plays and everyone must dance
   I'm bowing out, I need a second chance

R: Save me from all...
