G  D    G
           Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
G  D    G
           I could see the city light
Em  D  Em
           Wind was blowing, time stood still
Em  D  Em
           Eagle flew out of the night
 
G  D    G
           He was something to observe
G  D    G
           Came in close, I heard a voice
Em  D  Em
           Standing stretching every nerve
Em  D  Em                         C
           I had to listen had no choice
 
           D         C
           I did not believe the information
        D           C               A
           Just had to trust imagination
           D        A
           My heart going boom boom, boom
 
 
A      D       A
Son,    he said
Am        G            C       D        G    
Grab your things, I've come to take you home.
 
Eh, don't quit
 
G  D    G
           To keeping silence I resigned
G  D    G
           My friends would think I was a nut
Em  D  Em
           Turning water into wine
Em  D  Em
           Open doors would soon be shut
 
G  D    G
           So I went from day to day
G  D    G
           Though my life was in a rut
Em  D  Em
           'till I thought of what I'd say
Em  D  Em                            C
           Which connection I should cut
 
        D        C
           I was feeling part of the scenery
           D        C
           I walked right out of the machinery
    A      D        A
           My heart was going boom boom boom
 
 
A      D       A
Hey,    he said
Am        G            C       D        G    
Grab your things, I've come to take you home.
 
Yeah back home
 
G  D    G
           When illusion spin her net
G  D    G
           I'm never where I want to be
Em  D  Em
           And liberty she pirouette
Em  D  Em
           When I think that I am free
 
 
G  D    G
           Watched by empty silhouettes
G  D    G
           Who close their eyes, but still can see
Em  D  Em
           No one taught them etiquette
Em  D  Em                      C
           I will show another me
 
 
D     C
Today I don't need a replacement
D              C                         A
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
D        A
My heart going boom boom boom
 
A      D       A
Hey,    I said
        Am      G               C       D       G    
You can keep my things, they've come to take me home.
