Don Mclean

Castles In The Air

by Don Mclean
Don Mclean

Biography:

Donald McLean III (born October 2, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1971 hit song "American Pie", an 8.5-minute folk rock "cultural touchstone" about the loss of innocence of the early rock and roll generation (US #1 for four weeks in 1972 and UK #2).

McLean's grandfather and father, both also named Donald McLean, had roots originating in Scotland. The Buccis, the family of McLean's mother, Elizabeth, came from Abruzzo in central Italy.

*Use a capo @ second fret*


D A
And if she asks you why
G D G
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
Em D G
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
Em D G
I want the world to share and castle walls
A D A Em D
just lead me to despair.


D A
Hills of forest green
G D G
where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
Em D G
I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you
Em D G
to say my last goodbye ,the love we knew
A D A Em D
ain't worth another try.


Em G A D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
G Em G A A A7 A
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Em G A D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
G Em G A A A7 A
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain


D A
But how can words express
G D G
the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
Em D G
away from city strife, I need a
Em D G
country woman for my wife, I'm city born,
G A D A Em D
but I love the country life.


D A
For I can not be part
G D G
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
Em D G
Devoid of all romance the music plays
Em D G
and everyone must dance I'm bowling out
G A D A Em D
I need a second chance.


Em G A D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
G Em G A A A7 A
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Em G A D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
G Em G A A A7 A
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain


D A
And if she asks you why
G D G
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
Em D G
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
Em D G
I want the world to share and castle walls
A D A Em D
just lead me to despair.
