[E] And if she asks you why, [B] you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired of castles
in the air.
[F#m] I've got a dream [B] I want the world to share, and [F#m] castle walls [B] just lead me [E] to despair.
[B]
[E] Hills of forest green where [B] the mountains touch [E] the sky, a [F#m] dream come true.
[B] I'll live there till I die, I'm [F#m] asking you [B] to say my last goodbye.
The [F#m] love we knew [B] ain't worth another [E] try.
[B]
[E] [F#m]
Save me from [B] all the trouble and the [E] pain, I know [A] I'm weak but I can't [F#m] face that girl [B] again.
[F#m] Tell her the reasons [B] why I [E] can't remain, perhaps [A] she'll understand [F#m] if you tell it to [B] her plain.
[E] But how can words express the feel [B] of sunlight in [E] the morning in [F#m] the hills?
[B] Away from [E] city strife, I [F#m] need a [B] country woman for [E] my wife.
I'm [F#m] city born, but [B] I love the country [E] life.
[B]
For I will not be part of her cocktail [E] generation.
[F#m] Partners walled, [B] devoid of all [E] romance.
The [F#m] music played, [B] and everyone [E] must dance.
As I'm [F#m] bowing out, [B] I need a [E] second chance.
[F#m]
Save me from [B] all the trouble [E] and the pain, I [A] know I'm weak but I [F#m] can't face that [B] girl again.
