Intro: B5 | B5 | B5 | B5

B5                   E
When I was six years old
                G#m7 F#            B5
I broke my leg,
          B5    E
I was running from my brother
    G#m7         F#             B5
And his friends.
   B5      E
Tasted the sweet perfume
       G#m7
Of the mountain grass
   F#                      B5
As I rolled down.
         B5    E     G#m7
I was younger then.
                F#
Take me back to when

   F#       B5
   I
    E            F#             B
   Found my heart and broke it here,
   Made friends
       E
   And lost them through the years,
                  F#
   And I’ve not seen
                  B
   The roaring fields in so long,
   E
   I know I’ve grown,
 F#
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     B           E
     I’m on my way,
     G#m7       F#
     Driving at ninety down
     B              E
     Those country lanes,
     G#m7        F#
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         B           E
     And I miss the way
             G#m7    F#
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     B              E
     We watched the sunset
     G#m7     F#              B5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: B5 | B5

B5            E
Fifteen years old and smoking
    G#m7                F#             B5
Hand-rolled cigarettes,
             B5     E
Running from the law through the backfields
   G#m7                F#                   B5
And getting drunk with my friends.
       B5    E                  G#m7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
        F#                          B5
I don’t reckon that I did it right.
          B5    E     G#m7
I was younger then.
                F#
Take me back to when

      F#       B5 E
   We found
            F#                B
   Weekend jobs, when we got paid
                   E
   We’d buy cheap spirits
   And drink them straight.
                 F#
   Me and my friends
                    B
   Have not thrown up in so long,
   E
   Oh, how we’ve grown,
 F#
   I can’t wait to go home.

Chorus:
     B           E
     I’m on my way,
     G#m7       F#
     Driving at ninety down
     B              E
     Those country lanes,
     G#m7        F#
     Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
         B           E
     And I miss the way
             G#m7    F#
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     B              E
     We watched the sunset
     G#m7     F#              B
     Over the castle on the hill,
           E
     Oooh,
     G#m7     F#              B
     Over the castle on the hill,
           E
     Oooh,
     G#m7     F#              B5
     Over the castle on the hill.

Instrumental: G#m7 | E | B | F# F#

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

Chorus:
         B              E
     And I’m on my way,
     G#m7      F#
     I still remember
            B              E
     These old country lanes
          G#m7       F#
     When we did not know the answers
         B           E
     And I miss the way
             G#m7    F#
     You make me feel, and it’s real,
     B              E
     We watched the sunset
     G#m7     F#              B
     Over the castle on the hill,
           E
     Oooh,
     G#m7     F#              B
     Over the castle on the hill,
           E
     Oooh,
     G#m7     F#              B5
     Over the castle on the hill.
