ARTIST: Peter Gabriel
SONG: Solsbury Hill
ALBUM: Infopane (1977)

Capo II fret. 
I play the finger picking parts with a flat pick, but whatever you’re 
comfortable with. I recommend in the intro that you barre the first 
chord (an A6 or something) and leave it there… Hammer on the 3 & 4 with
 your middle and ring fingers and then hit the five with your pinky. 
This helps the quick chord changes. I’d say this is about 99.5% 
correct, but if you have any suggestions, e-mail them to 
jrhsc173@yahoo.com.au. This arrangement suits a single guitar, but 
sounds a lot fuller on a twelve string.

INTRO x 6

A E/A A A
                          A  E/A  A  A
Climbing up on Solsbury hill
                          F#m E F#m F#m
I could see the city light
                                 F#m E F#m F#m
Wind was blowing, time stood still
                         A  E/A  A  A 
Eagle flew out of the night
                        A  E/A  A  A
He was something to observe
                            F#m  E  F#m  F#m
Came in close, I heard a voice
                             F#m  E  F#m  F#m
Standing stretching every nerve
                            Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
I had to listen had no choice
                             Dmaj7 E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
I did not believe the information
                             Dmaj7 E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
Just had to trust imagination
                  Dmaj7         
My heart was going boom boom, boom
                  A    E             A/E      E/D           
Son, he said, grab your things, I’ve come to take you home.

                         A       E/A   A  A                     
To keeping silence I resigned
                             F#m   E F#m  F#m
My friends would think I was a nut
                      F#m  E  F#m  F#m  
Turning water into wine
                           A    E/A   A   A
Open doors would soon be shut
                        A    E/A   A   A
So I went from day to day
                        F#m   E  F#m  F#m
Though my life was in a rut
                            F#m   E  F#m  F#m
Till I thought of what I’d say
                           Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
Which connection I should cut
                            Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
I was feeling part of the scenery
                            Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
I walked right out of the machinery
                  Dmaj7         
My heart was going boom boom, boom
                  A     E             A/E      E/D           
Hey, he said, grab your things, I’ve come to take you home.
Yeah back home

                         A       E/A   A  A                     
When illusion spin her net
                         F#m   E  F#m  F#m
I’m never where I want to be
                        F#m   E  F#m  F#m
And liberty she pirouette
                                   A       E/A   A  A                          
When I think that I am free
                         A       E/A   A  A                     
Watched by empty silhouettes
                                  F#m   E  F#m  F#m
Who close their eyes, but still can see
                         F#m   E  F#m  F#m
No one taught them etiquette
                    Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
I will show another me
                           Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
Today I don’t need a replacement
                                    Dmaj7  E/D  Dmaj7  Dmaj7
I’ll tell them what the smile on my face meant
                  Dmaj7         
My heart was going boom boom boom
                      A      E/A             A/D       E/D
Hey, I said, you can keep my things, they’ve come to take me home.
