Lyrics

And how can words (Emaj7)express the feel of (A)sunlight in the (E)morning,

in the (F#m7)hills (B7)away from city (E)strife.

I need a (F#m7)country (B7)woman for my (E)wife.

I'm city (F#m7)born, I but (B7)love the country (E)spair.

(E)For Hills of forest (Emaj7)green, where the (A)mountains touch the (E)sky,

a dream come (F#m7)true,

I'll (B7)live there till I (E)die.

I'm asking (F#m7)you to (B7)say my last (E)goodbye.

The love we (F#m7)knew ain't (B7)worth another (E)try.

(F#m7)Save me from all the (B7)trouble and the (E)pain.

I know I'm (A)weak, but I (Amaj7)can't (F#m7)face that girl (B7)again.

(F#m7)Tell her the reason (B7)why I can't (E)remain.

Perhaps she'll (A)(Amaj7)(F#m7)understand, if you tell it to her (B7)plain.

(B7)But (E)if she asks you (Emaj7)why,

the you can (A)tell her that I (E)told you that I'm (F#m7)tired of (B7)castles in the (E)air.

I've got a (F#m7)dream I (B7)want the world to (E)share and castle (F#m7)walls I just (B7)lead me to de (E)life.

(E)For I will not be (Emaj7)part of the (A)cocktail (E)generation.

Partners (F#m7)waltz, (B7)devoid of all (E)romance.

The music (F#m7)plays and (B7)ev'ryone must (E)dance.

I'm bowing (F#m7)out,

I (B7)need a second (E)chance.

(F#m7)Save me from all the (B7)trouble and the (E)pain.

I know I'm (A)weak, but I (Amaj7)can't (F#m7)face that girl (B7)again.

(F#m7)Tell her the reason (B7)why I can't (E)remain.

Perhaps she'll (A)(Amaj7)(F#m7)understand, if you tell it to her (B7)plain.

(B7)But (F#m7)(B7)And (E)spair.
