Verse 1:
  D        Dmaj7
And if she asks you why
    Dsus2      D         Em
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
  A       D        Em
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  A         D        Em
I want the world to share and castle walls
   A       D Dmaj7 D6
just lead me to despair.

Verse 2:
D         Dmaj7
Hills of forest green
     Dsus2        D        Em
where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
   A         D       Em
I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you
  A        D        Em
to say my last goodbye ,the love we knew
    A       D Dmaj7 D6
ain't worth another try.

Chorus:
Em7          A        D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
      G  G/F# Em7 Em7/D  Em       A  Asus4 A  Asus2
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again
Em7          A      D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
     G   G/F# Em7 Em7/D  Em       A Asus4 A Asus2
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

Verse 3:
  D        Dmaj7
But how can words express
      Dsus2      D       Em
the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
 A       D       Em
away from city strife, I need a
     A      D       Em
country woman for my wife, I'm city born,
    A          D Dmaj7 D6
but I love the country life.

Verse 4:
 D      Dmaj7
For I can not be part
    Dsus2     D        Em
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
  A       D        Em
Devoid of all romance the music plays
  A       D        Em
and everyone must dance I'm bowing out
  A        D Dmaj7 D6
I need a second chance.

Em7          A      D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
     G   G/F# Em7 Em7/D  Em       A Asus4 A Asus2
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

just lead me to despair.
