Castles in the Air piano leadsheet with chords

Level 5E120 BPMDon McLean
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

And how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,

in the hills away from city strife.

I need a country woman for my wife.

I'm city born, I but love the country spair.

For Hills of forest green, where the mountains touch the sky,

a dream come true,

I'll live there till I die.

I'm asking you to say my last goodbye.

The love we knew ain't worth another try.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.

I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again.

Tell her the reason why I can't remain.

Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain.

But if she asks you why,

the you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired of castles in the air.

I've got a dream I want the world to share and castle walls I just lead me to de life.

For I will not be part of the cocktail generation.

Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.

The music plays and ev'ryone must dance.

I'm bowing out,

I need a second chance.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.

I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again.

Tell her the reason why I can't remain.

Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain.

But And spair.
