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
