[Verse]
A E/A A A [ A ]
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
A E/A A A [ F#m ]
I could see the city light
F#m E/F# F#m [ F#m ]
Wind was blowing, time stood still
F#m E/F# F#m [ A ]
Eagle flew out of the night
A E/A A A [ A ]
He was something to observe
A E/A A A [ F#m ]
Came in close, I heard a voice
F#m E/F# F#m [ F#m ]
Standing stretching every nerve
F#m E/F# F#m [ Dmaj7 ]
I had to listen had no choice
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [ Dmaj7 ]
I did not believe the information
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [ Dmaj7 ]
Just had to trust imagination
Dmaj7 E/B Dmaj7
My heart was going boom boom, boom
Dmaj7 E/B Dmaj7 Bm7 A/C# D5 E [ A ]
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."
[Interlude]

[Verse]
A E/A A A [ A ]
To keep in silence I resigned
A E/A A A ´ [ F#m ]
My friends would think I was a nut
F#m E/F# F#m [ F#m ]
Turning water into wine
F#m E/F# F#m [ A ]
Open doors would soon be shut
A E/A A A [ A ]
So I went from day to day
A E/A A A [ F#m ]
Tho' my life was in a rut
F#m E/F# F#m [ F#m ]
'Till I thought of what I'd say
F#m E/F# F#m [ Dmaj7 ]
Which connection I should cut
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [ Dmaj7 ]
I was feeling part of the scenery
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [ Dmaj7 ]
I walked right out of the machinery
Dmaj7 E/B Dmaj7
My heart was going boom boom, boom
Dmaj7 E/B Dmaj7 Bm7 A/C# D5 E [ A ]
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."
[Interlude]
| D/A A D/A A E/A | D/A A D/A A E/A |
Yeah back home
[Verse]
A E/A A A [ A ]
When illusion spin her net
A E/A A A [ F#m ]
I'm never where I want to be
F#m E/F# F#m [ F#m ]
And liberty she pirouette
F#m E/F# F#m [ A ]
When I think that I am free
A E/A A A [ A ]
Watched by empty silhouettes
A E/A A A [ F#m ]
Who close their eyes, but still can see
F#m E/F# F#m [ F#m ]
No one taught them etiquette
F#m E/F# F#m [ Dmaj7 ]
I will show another me
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [ Dmaj7 ]
Today I don't need a replacement
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [ Dmaj7 ]
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
Dmaj7 E/B Dmaj7
My heart was going boom boom, boom
Dmaj7 E/B Dmaj7 Bm7 A/C# D5 E [ A ]
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
