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.
