[E] [B] [E] [B]
[E] [B] [E] [B] [F#] [B]
Climbing up on Salisbury Hill I could see the [G#m] city [F#] light
[G#m] Wind was blowing, time stood [F#] still [G#m] Eagle flew [B] out of the night
He was something to observe Came in close, [G#m] I heard a voice
[F#] [G#m]
Standing, stretching every [F#] nerve [G#m] Had to listen, had no [F#] choice
[E] I did not believe the information [F#] [E] Just had to trust
[G#m] imagination
[F#] [E] My heart going boom, boom, boom [G#m] [F#] Son, he [G#m] said, [E] [B] grab your things
I'm going to take you home
Hey, oh really?
Keeping silence, I resigned My friends would think [G#m] I was a nut
[F#]
[G#m] Turning water into wine [F#] [G#m]
Open doors would [B] soon be shut
So I went from day to day [F#] [B] My life [G#m] was in a [F#] rut
[G#m] Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should call
[F#] [E] I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery
[G#m] [F#] [C#m] My heart going boom, boom, [G#m] boom Hey, [F#] he [C#m] said, [B] grab your [E] things
[B] I'm going to take you home Hey, [E] back [B] home
[E] [B] [E] [B]
[E] [B] [F#] [B]
When illusions been [F#] unlit [B] I never went [G#m] off the [F#] [G#m] heat
And liberty she threw away [F#] [G#m] When I think that I [B] have
[F#] [B] That's why empties soon away [F#] [B] Who close their eyes [G#m] but look and [F#] see
[G#m] No one talking any care [F#] [G#m] I would show [E] another [F#] me
[E] Today I don't need her embracement [F#] I [E] tell them with a smile on [G#m] my face
Now [F#]
[G#m] my heart [C#] going boom, boom, boom [G#m] [F#] Hey, I [E] said, you can [B] keep my [E] things
[D#m] They're going to [B] take me home
[E] [B]
You can keep my things
They're going to take [E]
[B] me home
[E] [B]
