Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
A F#m
I could see the city light
F#m F#m
Wind was blowing, time stood still
F#m A
Eagle flew out of the night
A A
He was something to observe
A F#m
Came in close, I heard a voice
F#m F#m
Standing stretching every nerve
F#m Dmaj7
I had to listen had no choice
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I did not believe the information
Dmaj7 Dmaj7/H
Just had to trust imagination
Dmaj7/HMy E/Hheart was Dmaj7/Hgoing boom boom, boom
E A
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resigned
A F#m
My friends would think I was a nut
F#m F#m
Turning water into wine
F#m A
Open doors would soon be shut
A A
So I went from day to day
A F#m
Tho' my life was in a rut
F#m F#m
'Till I thought of what I'd say
F#m Dmaj7
Which connection I should cut
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I was feeling part of the scenery
Dmaj7 Dmaj7/H
I walked right out of the machinery
Dmaj7/HMy E/Hheart was Dmaj7/Hgoing boom boom, boom
E A
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

A A
When illusion spin her net
A F#m
I'm never where I want to be
F#m F#m
And liberty she pirouette
F#m A
When I think that I am free
A A
Watched by empty silhouettes
A F#m
Who close their eyes, but still can see
F#m F#m
No one taught them etiquette
F#m Dmaj7
I will show another me
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Today I don't need a replacement
Dmaj7 Dmaj7/H
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
Dmaj7/HMy E/Hheart was Dmaj7/Hgoing boom boom, boom
E A
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
