  • A pretty unique song from a fingerstyle perspective, but a fun one to play!

    Lyrics:
    And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
    That I'm tired of castles in the air
    I've got a dream I want the world to share
    And castle walls just lead me to despair
    Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
    A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
    I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
    The love we knew ain't worth another try
    Save me from all the trouble and the pain
    I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again
    Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
    Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
    But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?
    In the hills, away from city strife
    I need a country woman for my wife
    I'm city born, but I love the country life
    For I will not be part of her cocktail generation
    Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
    The music plays and everyone must dance
    I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
    Save me from all the trouble and the pain
    I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
    Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
    Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
    And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
    That I'm tired of castles in the air
    I've got a dream I want the world to share
    And castle walls just lead me to despair

    I'LL TELL YOU WHAT: SIMPLY IMPRESSIVE. WONDERFUL PERFORM. DOWN HERE IN BRASIL, I ALWAYS LOVED THIS TUNE. I'M A MUSICIAN, BUT I'D NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PLAY THIS SONG WITH SUCH SOUL ON THE TIPS OF FINGERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCK FOR SHARING. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR TALENT.

      Thank you quite much! This one plays a little differently too so it takes a little bit to learn. Keep on playing and best of luck!

      Thanks! It's a fun one to do. A lot of the finger work was off camera too unfortunately I need to make sure to get that in.
