Guitar tabs

Solsbury Hill (album version) - Peter Gabriel
from Peter Gabriel (Car, Rain) 1977

tabbed by Analog Kid
analog.kid@comcast.net

Peter's debut solo single written in 1976 about his departure from Genesis in 1975.

The song is in 7/4 with the last 2 measures of each chorus in 4/4.

There are many versions of this tab, some of which come close and some of which do not
at all.
This is my interpretation of the studio version transcribed for guitar with bass and
keyboard accompanyment.

For solo acoustic guitar, I suggest you check out Warren Gash's (saffronboots) Solsbury
Hill Tutorial
on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-Mp8cTBoIs) in which he presents a hybrid
version that includes
elements from the keyboard and bass parts.

 Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home



To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
(Back home.)

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
They've come to take me home."
