  Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
                          F#m  
  I could see the city lights
E/F#  F#m

                               F#m 
  Wind was blowing, time stood 
 E/F#  F#m
still
                        A  E/A  A
  Eagle flew out of the night
                        A  E/A  A
  He was something to observe
                           F#m  
  Came in close; I heard a voice
E/F#  F#m

                             F#m  
  Standing, stretching every nerve
E/F#  F#m

                          Dmaj7  
  I had to listen; had no choice
E/D  Dmaj7

                               Dmaj7
  I did not believe the information
  E/D         Dmaj7        F#m
  Just had to trust imagination
     E        Dmaj7
  My heart going boom boom boom
  Dmaj7   E/D  Dmaj7   D         
  Son, he said,        grab your 
E           Dmaj7   Esus4
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

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
