E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why

        A               E                 F#m7
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired

   B7             E               F#m7
of 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   E
just lead me to despair.

E                 Emaj7
Hills of forest green

          A               E                    F#m7
where the mountains touch the sky 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   E
ain't worth another try.

F#m7                 B7              E
Save me from all the trouble and the pain

            A       Amaj7     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 F#m7 B7
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

E                   Emaj7
But how can words express

            A               E              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   E
but I love the country life.

E                Emaj7
For I can not be part

       A            E                F#m7
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz

  B7            E               F#m7
Devoid of all romance the music playes

    B7            E                 F#m7
and everyone must dance I'm bowling out

  B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
I need a second chance.

F#m7                 B7              E
Save me from all the trouble and the pain

            A       Amaj7     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 F#m7 B7
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why

        A               E                 F#m7

     B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
just lead me to despair.
