Intro: E5 | E5 | E5 | E5

E5                   A
When I was six years old
                C#m7 B             E5
I broke my leg,
          E5    A
I was running from my brother
    C#m7         B              E5
And his friends.
   E5      A
Tasted the sweet perfume
       C#m7
Of the mountain grass
   B                       E5
As I rolled down.
         E5    A     C#m7
I was younger then.
                B
Take me back to when

   B        E5
   I
    A            B              E
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       A
   And lost them through the years,
                  B
   And I’ve not seen
                  E
   The roaring fields in so long,
   A
   I know I’ve grown,
 B
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     E           A
     I’m on my way,
     C#m7       B
     Driving at ninety down
     E              A
     Those country lanes,
     C#m7        B
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         E           A
     And I miss the way
             C#m7    B
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     E              A
     We watched the sunset
     C#m7     B               E5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: E5 | E5

E5            A
Fifteen years old and smoking
    C#m7                B              E5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             E5     A
Running from the law through the backfields
   C#m7                B                    E5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       E5    A                  C#m7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        B                           E5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          E5    A     C#m7
I was younger then.
                B
Take me back to when

      B        E5 A
   We found
            B                 E
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   A
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
                 B
   Me and my friends
                    E
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   A
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 B
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     E           A
     I’m on my way,
     C#m7       B
     Driving at ninety down
     E              A
     Those country lanes,
     C#m7        B
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         E           A
     And I miss the way
             C#m7    B
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     E              A
     We watched the sunset
     C#m7     B               E
     Over the castle on the hill,
           A
     Oooh,
     C#m7     B               E
     Over the castle on the hill,
           A
     Oooh,
     C#m7     B               E5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: C#m7 | A | E | B B

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

Chorus:
         E              A
     And I’m on my way,
     C#m7      B
     I still remember
            E              A
     These old country lanes
          C#m7       B
     When we did not know the answers
         E           A
     And I miss the way
             C#m7    B
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     E              A
     We watched the sunset
     C#m7     B               E
     Over the castle on the hill,
           A
     Oooh,
     C#m7     B               E
     Over the castle on the hill,
           A
     Oooh,
     C#m7     B               E5
     Over the castle on the hill.
