Intro: G5 | G5 | G5 | G5

G5                   C
When I was six years old
                Em7 D              G5
I broke my leg,
          G5    C
I was running from my brother
    Em7          D              G5
And his friends.
   G5      C
Tasted the sweet perfume
       Em7
Of the mountain grass
   D                       G5
As I rolled down.
         G5    C     Em7
I was younger then.
                D
Take me back to when

   D        G5
   I
    C            D              G
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       C
   And lost them through the years,
                  D
   And I’ve not seen
                  G
   The roaring fields in so long,
   C
   I know I’ve grown,
 D
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     G           C
     I’m on my way,
     Em7        D
     Driving at ninety down
     G              C
     Those country lanes,
     Em7         D
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         G           C
     And I miss the way
             Em7     D
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     G              C
     We watched the sunset
     Em7      D               G5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: G5 | G5

G5            C
Fifteen years old and smoking
    Em7                 D              G5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             G5     C
Running from the law through the backfields
   Em7                 D                    G5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       G5    C                  Em7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        D                           G5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          G5    C     Em7
I was younger then.
                D
Take me back to when

      D        G5 C
   We found
            D                 G
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   C
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
                 D
   Me and my friends
                    G
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   C
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 D
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     G           C
     I’m on my way,
     Em7        D
     Driving at ninety down
     G              C
     Those country lanes,
     Em7         D
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         G           C
     And I miss the way
             Em7     D
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     G              C
     We watched the sunset
     Em7      D               G
     Over the castle on the hill,
           C
     Oooh,
     Em7      D               G
     Over the castle on the hill,
           C
     Oooh,
     Em7      D               G5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: Em7 | C | G | D D

Bridge:
 Em7            C
   One friend left to sell clothes,
 G             D
   One works down by the coast,
 Em7             C
   One had two kids but lives alone,
 G        D
   One’s brother overdosed,
 Em7          C
   One’s already on his second wife,
 G              D
   One’s just barely getting by
      Em7              C
   But these people raised me
       G       D
   And I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
         G              C
     And I’m on my way,
     Em7       D
     I still remember
            G              C
     These old country lanes
          Em7        D
     When we did not know the answers
         G           C
     And I miss the way
             Em7     D
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     G              C
     We watched the sunset
     Em7      D               G
     Over the castle on the hill,
           C
     Oooh,
     Em7      D               G
     Over the castle on the hill,
           C
     Oooh,
     Em7      D               G5
     Over the castle on the hill.
