A E/A A
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
A E/A A
I could see the city light
F#m E F#m
Wind was blowing, time stood still
F#m E F#m
Eagle flew out of the night
A E/A A
He was something to observe
A E/A A
Came in close, I heard a voice
F#m E F#m
Standing stretching every nerve
F#m E F#m Dmaj7
I had to listen had no choice
E/D Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I did not believe the information
E/D Dmaj7 B7sus2
Just had to trust imagination
E B7sus2
My heart going boom boom, boom
B7sus2 E B7sus2
Son, he said
Bm7 A/C# D E A (riff)
Grab your things, I've come to take you home.
Eh, don't quit
A E/A A
To keeping silence I resigned
A E/A A
My friends would think I was a nut
F#m E F#m
Turning water into wine
F#m E F#m
Open doors would soon be shut
A E/A A
So I went from day to day
A E/A A
Though my life was in a rut
F#m E F#m
'till I thought of what I'd say
F#m E F#m Dmaj7
Which connection I should cut
E/D
Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I was feeling part of the scenery
E/D Dmaj7
I walked right out of the machinery
B7sus2 E B7sus2
My heart was going boom boom boom
B7sus2 E B7sus2
Hey, he said
Bm7 A/C# D E A (riff)
Grab your things, I've come to take you home.
Yeah back home
A E/A A
When illusion spin her net
A E/A A
I'm never where I want to be
F#m E F#m
And liberty she pirouette
F#m E F#m
When I think that I am free
A E/A A
Watched by empty silhouettes
A E/A A
Who close their eyes, but still can see
F#m E F#m
No one taught them etiquette
F#m E F#m Dmaj7
I will show another me
E/D Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Today I don't need a replacement
E/D Dmaj7 B7sus2
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
E B7sus2
My heart going boom boom boom
B7sus2 E B7sus2
Hey, I said
Bm7 A/C# D E A (riff)
You can keep my things, they've come to take me home
