    Verse 1:
    A E/A A
  •  
    A E/A A
    Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
  • F#m E/F# F#m
    I could see the city lights
    F#m E/F# F#m
  • Wind was blowing, time stood still
    A E/A A
    Eagle flew out of the night
  • A E/A A
    He was something to observe
    F#m E/F# F#m
  • Came in close; I heard a voice
    F#m E/F# F#m
    Standing, stretching every nerve
  • Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7
    I had to listen; had no choice
    Dmaj7
  • I did not believe the information
    E/D Dmaj7 F#m
    Just had to trust imagination
  • E(1) Dmaj7
    My heart going boom boom boom
    Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 D A Esus4 E(2)
  • Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home

    Verse 2:
    To keep in silence I resigned
  • My friends would think I was a nut
    Turning water into wine
    Open doors would soon be shut
  • So I went from day to day
    Though my life was in a rut
    Till I thought of what I'd say
  • And which connection I should cut
    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
  • My heart going boom boom boom
    Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
     
  • Guitar motif x4
     
    Verse 3:
  • When illusion spin her net
    I'm never where I want to be
    And liberty she pirouette
  • When I think that I am free
    Watched by empty silhouettes
    Who close their eyes but still can see
  • No one taught them etiquette
    So I will show another me
    Today I don't need a replacement
  • I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
    My heart going boom boom boom
    Hey, I said, you can keep my things they've come to take me home
