Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

Hinzugefügt am: 5. Jan 2018 von Sonja •
Capo: 4 • The song IS in the key of B, but the capo should be on the FOURTH fret rather than the second. It makes it sound a lot better! The chords of the instrumental bits tend to be rapidly arpeggiated (perhaps they're finger-picked, but I do better flat-picking quickly...), and the chords of the verses are strummed, with some light appregiation prior to each vocal phrase. [The vertical bars represent phrases, not actual measures].

Verse 1

G     D    G                             G     D     G

                Climbing up on Solsbury Hill

                                        Em     D     Em

                I could see the city lights

                                        Em     D     Em

          Wind was blowing, time stood still

                                        G      D     G

                 Eagle flew out of the night

                                               G      D     G

                 He was something to observe

                                        Em     D     Em

              Came in close, I heard a voice

                                               Em     D     Em

             Standing stretching every nerve

                                        Cmaj7  D        

                           Had to listen had no choice  

            Cmaj7               

            I did not believe the information

               D               Cmaj7

              [I] just had to trust imagination

                D        Cmaj7

               My heart going boom boom boom



              "Son," he said, "Grab your things,

              I've come to take you home."

Riff 1, then Riff 2



Verse 2



G     D    G                             G     D     G

              To keep in silence I resigned

                                         Em    D     Em

              My friends would think I was a nut

                                         Em    D     Em

              Turning water into wine

                                         G     D     G

              Open doors would soon be shut

                                         G     D     G

              So I went from day to day

                                         Em    D     Em

              Tho' my life was in a rut

                                         Em     D     Em

              'Til I thought of what I'd say

                                         Cmaj7  D     Cmaj7

              Which connection I should cut

                                                D     Cmaj7

              I was feeling part of the scenery

                                                D     Cmaj7

              I walked right out of the machinery

                                                D     Cmaj7

              My heart going boom boom boom

                                                D     Cmaj7

              "Hey" 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

               Watched by empty silhouettes

               Who close their eyes but still can see

               No on taught them etiquette

               I will show another me

               Today I don't need a replacement

               I'll tell 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."
