Intro: F#m7 B7 E F#m7 B7 E F#m7 B7 E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7   

       E                      Emaj7   
And if she asks you why   
              E6                Emaj7                 F#m7   
You can tell her that I told you, that I'm tired   
B7                  E                   F#m7   
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 Emaj7   
Just lead me to despair   
E                   Emaj7                  E6                             Emaj7   
Hills of forest green, where the mountains touch the sky   
                        F#m7   
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 Emaj7   
Ain't worth another try   
F#m7                         B7                    E   
Save me from all the trouble and the pain   
                 A                        F#m7              B      B4 B9 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                                              
Perhaps she will understand   
          F#m7          B     B4 B9 B7   
If you tell it to her plan   
      E                           Emaj7   
But how can words express   
                  E6                   Emaj7               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 Emaj7     
But I love the country life   
      E             Emaj7   
For I'll not be part   
           E6                 Emaj7              F#m7   
Of her cocktail generation, partners waltz   
     B7              E                           F#m7   
Devoid of all romance, the music plays   
        B7                    E                            F#m7   
And everyone must dance, I'm bowling out   
  B7                    E           Emaj7 E6 Emaj7   
I need a second chance   
F#m7                        B7                     E   
Save me from all the trouble and the pain   
                A                         F#m7              B      B4 B9 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                                              
Perhaps she will understand   
         F#m7          B      B4 B9 B7   
If you tell it to her plan   
       E                       Emaj7   
And if she asks you why   
              E6                Emaj7                 F#m7   
You can tell her that I told you, that I'm tired   
B7                   E                  F#m7   
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 Emaj7   
Just lead me to despair...   

Final: E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 F#m7 B7 E F#m7 B7 E F#m7 B7 E Emaj7 E6 E
