Solsbury Hill chords by Peter Gabriel
Guitar chords with lyrics
4 VERSIONS# From rpaley1@cc.swarthmore.edu (Bob Paley) Earlier this week I posted a request for Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill", and a number of folks either sent the "nevada" version or directed me there. (Thanks everyone!) It turns out that though the chords on "nevada" are basically right, the tab for the instrumental bits weren't even close. Also, the display of the chords over the lyrics was misleading. So, I worked on it in order to improve the tab. The lyrics come from '/pub/music/lyrics/g/gabriel.peter/volume.1'....I made some real minor modifications. I'll send this to nevada after I've posted it. The song IS in the key of B, but the capo should be on the FOURTH fret rather than the second. It makes it sound a lot better! The chords of the instrumental bits tend to be rapidly arpeggiated (perhaps they're finger-picked, but I do better flat-picking quickly...), and the chords of the verses are strummed, with some light appregiation prior to each vocal phrase. [The vertical bars represent phrases, not actual measures].

Well, here goes. There are two different E chord forms, marked as E(1) and
