Castles In The Air
Don McLean


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

        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         F#m7   F#7 B7  F#m7 B7 F#m7
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     F#m7      F#7  B7  F#m7  B7 F#m7
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


         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 bowing 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        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     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
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
