Solsbury Hill Peter Gabriel

Intro: A E

Climbing up on Solsbury H[A]ill [E] [A]

I could see the city lig[F#m]hts [E] [F#m]

Wind was blowing, time stood s[F#m]till [E] [F#m]

Eagle flew out of the n[A]ight[E] [A]

He was something to obs[A]erve[E] [A]

Came in close; I heard a vo[F#m]ice [E] [F#m]

Standing, stretching every ne[F#m]rve [E] [F#m]

I had to listen; had no ch[Dmaj7]oice

I d[E]id not be[Dmaj7]lieve the informat[Dmaj7]ion

Ju[E]st had to t[Dmaj7]rust imaginati[Bm9-7]on

My h[E]eart going [Dmaj7]boom boom boom

[Dmaj7]Son, he said, gra[D]b your thi[A]ngs I've co[Esus4]me to ta[E]ke you ho[A]me

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

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 show 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

Nope, not Salisbury Hill. Definitely Solsbury Hill, named after Little Solsbury Hill in Bath, UK. Not too far from Salisbury.

Tiler65 (report)

It is Salisbury Hill
