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.
INTRO x2
A E/A A A
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
INTRO x2
A E/A A A
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.
INTRO TO FADE
