Lyrics and Music by Ed Sheeran, Benjamin Levin


Intro: C5 | C5 | C5 | C5

C5                   F
When I was six years old
                Am7 G              C5
I broke my leg,
          C5    F
I was running from my brother
    Am7          G              C5
And his friends.
   C5      F
Tasted the sweet perfume
       Am7
Of the mountain grass
   G                       C5
As I rolled down.
         C5    F     Am7
I was younger then.
                G
Take me back to when

   G        C5
   I
    F            G              C
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       F
   And lost them through the years,
                  G
   And I’ve not seen
                  C
   The roaring fields in so long,
   F
   I know I’ve grown,
 G
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     C           F
     I’m on my way,
     Am7        G
     Driving at ninety down
     C              F
     Those country lanes,
     Am7         G
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         C           F
     And I miss the way
             Am7     G
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     C              F
     We watched the sunset
     Am7      G               C5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: C5 | C5

C5            F
Fifteen years old and smoking
    Am7                 G              C5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             C5     F
Running from the law through the backfields
   Am7                 G                    C5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       C5    F                  Am7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        G                           C5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          C5    F     Am7
I was younger then.
                G
Take me back to when

      G        C5 F
   We found
            G                 C
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   F
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
                 G
   Me and my friends
                    C
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   F
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 G
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     C           F
     I’m on my way,
     Am7        G
     Driving at ninety down
     C              F
     Those country lanes,
     Am7         G
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         C           F
     And I miss the way
             Am7     G
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     C              F
     We watched the sunset
     Am7      G               C
     Over the castle on the hill,
           F
     Oooh,
     Am7      G               C
     Over the castle on the hill,
           F
     Oooh,
     Am7      G               C5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: Am7 | F | C | G G

Bridge:
 Am7            F
   One friend left to sell clothes,
 C             G
   One works down by the coast,
 Am7             F
   One had two kids but lives alone,
 C        G
   One’s brother overdosed,
 Am7          F
   One’s already on his second wife,
 C              G
   One’s just barely getting by
      Am7              F
   But these people raised me
       C       G
   And I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
         C              F
     And I’m on my way,
     Am7       G
     I still remember
            C              F
     These old country lanes
          Am7        G
     When we did not know the answers
         C           F
     And I miss the way
             Am7     G
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     C              F
     We watched the sunset
     Am7      G               C
     Over the castle on the hill,
           F
     Oooh,
     Am7      G               C
     Over the castle on the hill,
           F
     Oooh,
     Am7      G               C5
     Over the castle on the hill.
