Lyrics and Music by Ed Sheeran, Benjamin Levin


Intro: A5 | A5 | A5 | A5

A5                   D
When I was six years old
                F#m7 E             A5
I broke my leg,
          A5    D
I was running from my brother
    F#m7         E              A5
And his friends.
   A5      D
Tasted the sweet perfume
       F#m7
Of the mountain grass
   E                       A5
As I rolled down.
         A5    D     F#m7
I was younger then.
                E
Take me back to when

   E        A5
   I
    D            E              A
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       D
   And lost them through the years,
                  E
   And I’ve not seen
                  A
   The roaring fields in so long,
   D
   I know I’ve grown,
 E
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     A           D
     I’m on my way,
     F#m7       E
     Driving at ninety down
     A              D
     Those country lanes,
     F#m7        E
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         A           D
     And I miss the way
             F#m7    E
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     A              D
     We watched the sunset
     F#m7     E               A5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: A5 | A5

A5            D
Fifteen years old and smoking
    F#m7                E              A5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             A5     D
Running from the law through the backfields
   F#m7                E                    A5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       A5    D                  F#m7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        E                           A5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          A5    D     F#m7
I was younger then.
                E
Take me back to when

      E        A5 D
   We found
            E                 A
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   D
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
                 E
   Me and my friends
                    A
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   D
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 E
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     A           D
     I’m on my way,
     F#m7       E
     Driving at ninety down
     A              D
     Those country lanes,
     F#m7        E
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         A           D
     And I miss the way
             F#m7    E
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     A              D
     We watched the sunset
     F#m7     E               A
     Over the castle on the hill,
           D
     Oooh,
     F#m7     E               A
     Over the castle on the hill,
           D
     Oooh,
     F#m7     E               A5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: F#m7 | D | A | E E

Bridge:
 F#m7           D
   One friend left to sell clothes,
 A             E
   One works down by the coast,
 F#m7            D
   One had two kids but lives alone,
 A        E
   One’s brother overdosed,
 F#m7         D
   One’s already on his second wife,
 A              E
   One’s just barely getting by
      F#m7             D
   But these people raised me
       A       E
   And I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
         A              D
     And I’m on my way,
     F#m7      E
     I still remember
            A              D
     These old country lanes
          F#m7       E
     When we did not know the answers
         A           D
     And I miss the way
             F#m7    E
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     A              D
     We watched the sunset
     F#m7     E               A
     Over the castle on the hill,
           D
     Oooh,
     F#m7     E               A
     Over the castle on the hill,
           D
     Oooh,
     F#m7     E               A5
     Over the castle on the hill.
