[Verse]
G              D        G         D
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
G               D    Em
I could see the city lights
Em                 D          Em
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Em              D     C        D
Eagle flew out of the night
G                D   G
He was something to observe
G               D       Em
Came in close, I heard a voice
Em                   D     Em
Standing stretching every nerve
Em             D      C
Had to listen had no choice
C
 I did not believe the  information
Cmaj7
 I just had to trust   imagination
C                 Em
   My heart going boom boom boom
C           Em
  "Son," he said
C          G
"Grab your things,
     D                G
I've come to take you home

[Verse]
    G              D   G         D
To keep in silence I resigned
   G                     D     Em
My friends would think I was a nut
Em            D    Em
Turning water into wine
Em               D    C
Open doors would soon be shut
G              D      G
So I went from day to day
G                D   Em
Tho' my life was in a rut
Em                 D        Em
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Em               D        C
Which connection I should cut
C
  I was feeling part of the scenery
Cmaj7
I walked right out of the machinery
C              Em
My heart going boom boom boom
C          Em
  "Hey" he said
C          G
"Grab your things,
     D                G
I've come to take you home

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G              D       G         D
When illusion spin her net
    G             D      Em
I'm never where I want to be
    Em          D     Em
And liberty she pirouette
Em                D    C        D
When I think that I am free
G                D      G
watched by empty silhouettes
    G
Who close their eyes
    D         Em
but still can see
Em                  D  Em
No one taught them etiquette
Em            D     C
I will show another me
C
Today I don't need a replacement
Cmaj7
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
C              Em
My heart going boom boom boom
C          Em
  "Hey" I  said
        C       G
You can keep my things
        D               G
they’ve come to take me home
