Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
H[ G#m]
I could see the city light
G#m[ G#m]
Wind was blowing, time stood still
G#m[ H]
Eagle flew out of the night
H[ H]
He was something to observe
H[ G#m]
Came in close, I heard a voice
G#m[ G#m]
Standing stretching every nerve
G#m[ Emaj7]
I had to listen had no choice
Emaj7[ Emaj7]
I did not believe the information
Emaj7[ Emaj7/C#]
Just had to trust imagination
Emaj7/C#My F#/C#heart was Emaj7/C#going boom boom, boom
F#[ H]
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

H[ H]
To keep in silence I resigned
H´ [ G#m]
My friends would think I was a nut
G#m[ G#m]
Turning water into wine
G#m[ H]
Open doors would soon be shut
H[ H]
So I went from day to day
H[ G#m]
Tho' my life was in a rut
G#m[ G#m]
'Till I thought of what I'd say
G#m[ Emaj7]
Which connection I should cut
Emaj7[ Emaj7]
I was feeling part of the scenery
Emaj7[ Emaj7/C#]
I walked right out of the machinery
Emaj7/C#My F#/C#heart was Emaj7/C#going boom boom, boom
F#[ H]
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

H[ H]
When illusion spin her net
H[ G#m]
I'm never where I want to be
G#m[ G#m]
And liberty she pirouette
G#m[ H]
When I think that I am free
H[ H]
Watched by empty silhouettes
H[ G#m]
Who close their eyes, but still can see
G#m[ G#m]
No one taught them etiquette
G#m[ Emaj7]
I will show another me
Emaj7[ Emaj7]
Today I don't need a replacement
Emaj7[ Emaj7/C#]
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
Emaj7/C#My F#/C#heart was Emaj7/C#going boom boom, boom
F#[ H]
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
