Intro:
Guitar motif x6
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
Guitar motif x2
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
Guitar motif to fade (x12)

[intro]
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,
'Til I thought of what I'd say,
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".

When illusion spin her net,

Noone taught them etiquette,
I will show another me,
Today I don't need a replacement,
I'll show 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".
