Castles In The Air
Don McLean


Intro  E MajorE F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6 E MajorE


          EMaj7Emaj7
And if she asks you why
    A augmentedA          E MajorE      F#m7F#m7
You can tell her that I told you that I`m tired
  B7B7       E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
Of castles in the air I`ve got a dream
 B7B7        E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
I want the world to share and castle walls
   B7B7      E MajorE  EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6  E MajorE
Just lead me to despair

        EMaj7Emaj7
Hills of forest green
     A augmentedA          E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
Where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
   B7B7        E MajorE       F#m7F#m7
I`ll live there till I die I`m asking you
  B7B7     E MajorE          F#m7F#m7
To say my last goodbye the love we knew
   B7B7      E MajorE  EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6  E MajorE
Ain`t worth another try


F#m7F#m7           B7B7       E MajorE
   Save me from all the trouble and the pain
      A augmentedA         F#m7F#m7   F#7F#7 B7B7  F#m7F#m7 B7B7 F#m7F#m7
I know I`m weak but I can`t  face that girl again
F#m7F#m7         B7B7      E MajorE
Tell her the reasons why I can`t remain
        A augmentedA     F#m7F#m7      F#7F#7  B7B7  F#m7F#m7  B7B7 F#m7F#m7
Perhaps she`ll understand   if you tell it to her plain


E MajorE         EMaj7Emaj7
But how can words express
      A augmentedA        E MajorE       F#m7F#m7
The feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills
 B7B7      E MajorE       F#m7F#m7
Away from city strife I need a
    B7B7      E MajorE       F#m7F#m7
Country woman for my wife I`m city born
   B7B7        E MajorE   EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6  E MajorE
But I love the country life

         EMaj7Emaj7
For I can not be part
    A augmentedA      E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
Of her cocktail generation partners waltz
 B7B7      E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
Devoid of all romance the music playes
  B7B7      E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
And everyone must dance I`m bowing out
 B7B7      E MajorE    EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6  E MajorE
I need a second chance


F#m7F#m7           B7B7       E MajorE
   Save me from all the trouble and the pain
      A augmentedA        F#m7F#m7   F#7F#7 B7B7  F#m7F#m7 B7B7 F#m7F#m7 B7B7
I know I`m weak but I can`t face that girl again
F#m7F#m7         B7B7      E MajorE
Tell her the reasons why I can`t remain
        A augmentedA     F#m7F#m7      F#7F#7    B7B7  F#m7F#m7  B7B7 F#m7F#m7 B7B7
Perhaps she`ll understand   if you tell it to her plain


  E MajorE        EMaj7Emaj7
And if she asks you why
    A augmentedA        E MajorE         F#m7F#m7
You can tell her that I told you that I`m tired
  B7B7       E MajorE       F#m7F#m7
Of castles in the air I`ve got a dream
 B7B7        E MajorE        F#m7F#m7
I want the world to share and castle walls
   B7B7      E MajorE  EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6  E MajorE
Just lead me to despair

EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6  E MajorE  F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE EMaj7Emaj7 E6E6 E MajorE
