Standard (EADGBE)

And if she asks you why

 you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired

 of castles in the air, I've got a dream

 I want the world to share and castle walls

 just lead me to despair.

Hills of forest green

 where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true

 I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you

 to say my last goodbye ,the love we knew

 ain't worth another try.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain

 I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again

Tell her the reasons why I can't remain

 Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

But how can words express

 the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,

 away from city strife, I need a

 country woman for my wife, I'm city born,

 but I love the country life.

For I can not be part

 of her cocktail generation, partners waltz

 Devoid of all romance the music playes

 and everyone must dance I'm bowling out

 I need a second chance.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain

 I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again

Tell her the reasons why I can't remain

 Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

And if she asks you why

 you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired

 of castles in the air, I've got a dream

 I want the world to share and castle walls

 just lead me to despair.
