E Emaj7 And if she asks you why A E F#m7 you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired B7 E F#m7 of castles in the air, I've got a dream B7 E F#m7 I want the world to share and castle walls B7 E Emaj7 E6 E 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 Chorus: F#m7 B7 E Save me from all the trouble and the pain A F#m7 I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl B7 F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7 again F#m7 B7 E Tell her the reasons why I can't remain A F#m7 Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it B7 F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7 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 cannot be part of the cocktail generation: Partners waltz, devoid of all romance The music plays and everyone must dance I'm bowing out. I need a second chance Chorus 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 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  E  Emaj  Emaj7  E6  F#m  F#m7  B7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
