A    E/A  A A                        [ A ] 
               Climbing up on Solsbury Hill 
A    E/A  A A                     [ F#m ] 
               I could see the city light 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                           [ F#m ] 
               Wind was blowing, time stood still 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                    [ A ] 
               Eagle flew out of the night  
A    E/A  A A                      [ A ] 
               He was something to observe 
A    E/A  A A                         [ F#m ] 
               Came in close, I heard a voice 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                        [ F#m ] 
               Standing stretching every nerve 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                     [ Dmaj7 ] 
               I had to listen had no choice 
Dmaj7 E/D         Dmaj7          [ Dmaj7 ] 
      I did not believe the information 
Dmaj7 E/D         Dmaj7      [ Dmaj7/B ] 
      Just had to trust imagination 
Dmaj7/B E/B       Dmaj7/B 
 My     heart was going boom boom, boom 
 Dmaj7/B E/B  Dmaj7/B  Bm7       A/C#         D5      E      [ A ] 
"Son,"   he said,     "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

[Verse]
A    E/A  A A                       [ A ] 
               To keep in silence I resigned 
A    E/A  A A                   ´           [ F#m ] 
               My friends would think I was a nut 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                 [ F#m ] 
               Turning water into wine 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                       [ A ] 
               Open doors would soon be shut  
A    E/A  A A                      [ A ] 
               So I went from day to day 
A    E/A  A A                      [ F#m ] 
               Tho' my life was in a rut 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                          [ F#m ] 
               'Till I thought of what I'd say 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                        [ Dmaj7 ] 
               Which connection I should cut 
Dmaj7 E/D      Dmaj7              [ Dmaj7 ] 
      I was feeling part of the scenery 
Dmaj7 E/D      Dmaj7                 [ Dmaj7/B ] 
      I walked right out of the machinery 
Dmaj7/B E/B       Dmaj7/B 
 My     heart was going boom boom, boom 
Dmaj7/B E/B  Dmaj7/B   Bm7       A/C#         D5      E      [ A ] 
"Hey,"   he said,     "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

               When illusion spin her net 
A    E/A  A A                          [ F#m ] 
               I'm never where I want to be 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                   [ F#m ] 
               And liberty she pirouette 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                      [ A ] 
               When I think that I am free  
A    E/A  A A                       [ A ] 
               Watched by empty silhouettes 
A    E/A  A A                                    [ F#m ] 
               Who close their eyes, but still can see 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                     [ F#m ] 
               No one taught them etiquette 
F#m   E/F#  F#m                  [ Dmaj7 ] 
               I will show another me 
Dmaj7 E/D   Dmaj7          [ Dmaj7 ] 
      Today I don't need a replacement 
Dmaj7 E/D       Dmaj7                        [ Dmaj7/B ] 
      I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant 
Dmaj7/B E/B       Dmaj7/B 
 My     heart was going boom boom, boom 
Dmaj7/B E/B  Dmaj7/B        Bm7     A/C#            D5      E     [ A ] 
"Hey,"  I said,    "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
