This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

And if she asks you why
G6/D D
You can tell her that I told you
Em A D
That I'm tired of castles in the air
Em A D
I've got a dream I want the world to share
Em A D
And castle walls just lead me to despair
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
Em A D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
G Em A
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Em A D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
G Em A
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it 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 will not be part
Of her "cocktail generation"
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
