A A* Nobody has an answer but they keep on asking still Chorus G D And a friend of mine, one of the few A G D Has locked himself away like Howard Hughes G D They're trying to replace him but they know they never will A G A G D And it ain't the same with out him, in the castle on the hill I cant remember the exact words for Verse 3 but the guitar part is the same, the break in the middle has a easy lead part but i can't be bothered to TAB that now so you'll have to listen to the CD and work it out ones self. Enjoy..
