[D#] [A#] [D#] Climbing up on solsbury

I could see the city
[G#maj7] light

He was something to ob-
[D#]-serve

Standing stretching every
[G#maj7] nerve
[A#] [G#maj7]
I had to listen had no
[G#maj7] choice

My friends would think I was a

[A#] [G#maj7]
Turning water into
[G#maj7] wine
[A#] [G#maj7]
Open doors would soon be
[D#] shut
[A#] [D#]
VERSE 4:
So I went from day to
[D#] day
[A#] [D#]
Though my life was in a

Watched by empty silhou-
[D#]-ettes

[A#] [G#maj7]
I will show another
[G#maj7] me
