[Verse]
    E                                                   
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
         Gbm7  Gbm Gbm7           B  
That I'm tired of  castles in the air
           Gbm7    Bsus4             E    
I've got a dream I want the world to share
           Gbm   Gbm7                   
And castle walls just lead me to despair
                Emaj7           A                   E  
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
        Gbm            Bsus4             E  
A dream come true I'll live there 'til I die
           Gbm7   Bsus4       E      
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
         Gbm7 Gbm        B             E  
The love we   knew ain't worth another try


[Chorus]
Gbm                  B                   E   
■   Save me from all the trouble and the pain
       A                    Gbm7           B    
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Bsus4 B E Gbm7
■     ■ ■ ■   
             B7                  E     
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
A              Gbm                              B     Bsus4 B
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain ■     ■


[Verse]
E                                                            
But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning
       Gbm   Gbm7           E     
In the hills away from city strife
       Gbm       E                
I need a country woman for my wife
         Gbm7       E                    
I'm city born but I love the country life


[Chorus]
                              A        E         
For I will not be part of her cocktail generation
Gbm7           Bsus4         E      
Partners waltz devoid of all romance
          Gbm       E                  
The music plays and everyone must dance
    Gbm7         B             E     
I'm bowing out I need a second chance
Gbm                  B7                  E   
■   Save me from all the trouble and the pain
       A                    Gbm7           B    
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
E Gbm7 Gbm             B7          E     
■ Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
A              Gbm                              B    
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
E                                                       
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
         Gbm   E                    
That I'm tired of castles in the air
           Gbm     E                      
I've got a dream I want the world to share
           Gbm        Bsus4      E      
And castle walls just lead me to despair
