Lyrics and Music by Ed Sheeran, Benjamin Levin

Intro: F#5 | F#5 | F#5 | F#5

F#5            F#5/Bb Bsus2
When I was six years old
                Ebm7 C#sus4 C#sus4/F F#5
I broke my leg,
          F#5/Bb Bsus2
I was running from my brother
    Ebm7         C#sus4 C#sus4/F F#5
And his friends.
   F#5/Bb  Bsus2
Tasted the sweet perfume
       Ebm7
Of the mountain grass
   C#sus4         C#sus4/F F#5
As I rolled down.
         F#5/Bb Bsus2 Ebm7
I was younger then.
                C#sus4
Take me back to when

   C#sus4/F F#5
   I
    Bmaj9        C#sus4         F#
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       B6add9
   And lost them through the years,
 Bmaj9            C#sus4
   And I’ve not seen
                  F#          F#/Bb
   The roaring fields in so long,
   B6add9
   I know I’ve grown,
 C#sus4    C#6sus4
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     F#     F#/Bb B
     I’m on my way,
     Ebm7       C#     C#/F
     Driving at ninety down
     F#        F#/Bb B
     Those country lanes,
     Ebm7        C#      C#/F
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         F#     F#/Bb B
     And I miss the way
             Ebm7    C#         C#/F
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     F#   F#/Bb     B
     We watched the sunset
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: F#5 | F#5

F#5     F#5/Bb Bsus2
Fifteen years old and smoking
    Ebm7                C#sus4 C#sus4/F F#5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             F#5/Bb Bsus2
Running from the law through the backfields
   Ebm7                C#sus4      C#sus4/F F#5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       F#5/Bb Bsus2             Ebm7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        C#sus4            C#sus4/F  F#5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          F#5/Bb Bsus2 Ebm7
I was younger then.
                C#sus4
Take me back to when

      C#sus4/F F#5 Bmaj9
   We found
            C#sus4            F#
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   B6add9
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
 Bmaj9           C#sus4
   Me and my friends
                    F#        F#/Bb
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   B6add9
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 C#sus4    C#6sus4
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     F#     F#/Bb B
     I’m on my way,
     Ebm7       C#     C#/F
     Driving at ninety down
     F#        F#/Bb B
     Those country lanes,
     Ebm7        C#      C#/F
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         F#     F#/Bb B
     And I miss the way
             Ebm7    C#         C#/F
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     F#   F#/Bb     B
     We watched the sunset
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#
     Over the castle on the hill,
      F#/Bb B
     Oooh,
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#
     Over the castle on the hill,
      F#/Bb B
     Oooh,
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: Ebm7 | Bsus2 | F# | C#sus4 C#

Bridge:
 Ebm7           Bsus2
   One friend left to sell clothes,
 F#            C#sus4/F C#/F
   One works down by the coast,
 Ebm7            Bsus2
   One had two kids but lives alone,
 F#       C#sus4/F C#/F
   One’s brother overdosed,
 Ebm7         Bsus2
   One’s already on his second wife,
 F#             C#sus4/F C#/F
   One’s just barely getting by
      Ebm7             Bsus2
   But these people raised me
       F#      C#sus4/F C#/F
   And I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
         F#sus2 F#maj/Bb Bsus2
     And I’m on my way,
     Ebm7      C#sus4/F
     I still remember
            F#sus2 F#maj/Bb Bsus2
     These old country lanes
          Ebm7       C#sus4/F
     When we did not know the answers
         F#     F#/Bb B
     And I miss the way
             Ebm7    C#         C#/F
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     F#   F#/Bb     B
     We watched the sunset
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#
     Over the castle on the hill,
      F#/Bb B
     Oooh,
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#
     Over the castle on the hill,
      F#/Bb B
     Oooh,
     Ebm7     C#        C#/F  F#5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: F#5 | F#5 | F#5 | F#5
