SOLSBURY HILL
Peter Gabriel
[ G][C][G][C][G][D] [C][G][C][G][D]
[ G][D][G] Climbing up on Solsbury Hill, [G][D][G]
I could see the city [ Em]
lights [D][Em]
Wind was blowing, time stood [ Em]
still [D][Em],
Eagle flew out of the [ G]
night [D][G]
He was something to ob-[ G]-serve
[D][G]
Came in close, I heard a [ Em]
voice [D][Em]
Standing stretching every [ Em]
nerve [D][Em]
Had to listen had no choice
I did not [ Cmaj7] believe
the [D] infor-[Cmaj7]-mation
I just had to [ D] trust
imagi-[Cmaj7]-nation,
My heart going [ D]
boom boom [Cmaj7] boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."
[ G][C][G][C][G][D] [C][G][C][G][D]
[ G][D][G] To keep in silence I resigned, [G][D][G]
My friends would think I was a [ Em] nut [D][Em]
Turning water into [ Em]
wine, [D][Em]
Open doors would soon be [ G]
shut [D][G]
So I went from day to [ G]
day, [D][G]
Tho' my life was in a [ Em]
rut [D][Em]
'Til I thought of what I'd [ Em]
say, [D][Em]
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling [ Cmaj7]
part of the [D] scene-[Cmaj7]-ry,
I walked right out of the ma-[ D]-chine-[Cmaj7]-ry
My heart going [ D]
boom boom [Cmaj7] boom, "Hey" he said
"Grab your things I've come to take you home."
[ G][C][G][C][G][D] [C][G][C][G][D]
[ G][D][G] When illusion spin her [G] net, [D][G]
I'm never where I want to [ Em]
be [D][Em]
And liberty she pirou-[ Em]-ette,
[D][Em]
When I think that I am [ G]
free [D][G]
Watched by empty silhou-[ G]-ettes,
[D][G]
Who close their eyes but still can [ Em] see [D][Em]
No on taught them eti-[ Em]-quette,
[D][Em]
I will show another me
Today I don't [ Cmaj7]
need a re-[D]-placement, [Cmaj7]
I'll tell them what the smile on my [ D] face meant [Cmaj7]
My heart going [ D]
boom boom [Cmaj7] boom, "Hey" I said
"You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
