IntroDVerse 1DDGBmA
When I was six years old I broke my leg
DDGBmA
And I was running from my brother and his friends
DDGBmA
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
DDGBmA
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Pre-Chorus 1GAD
Found my heart and broke it here
G
Made friends and lost them through the years
GADG
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
GA
But I can't wait to go home
Chorus 1DDGBmA7
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
DDGBmA7
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
DDGBmA7
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
DDGBmA7D
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Verse 2DDGBmA
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
DDGBmA
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
DDGBmA
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it
DDGBmA
Right, I was younger then, take me back to when we found
Pre-Chorus 2GAD
Weekend jobs and when we got paid
GG
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
ADG
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
GA
But I can't wait to go home
Chorus 2DDGBmA7
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
DDGBmA7
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
DDGBmA7
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
DDGBmA7
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
DDGBmA7
Over the castle on the hill
DDGBmA7
Over the castle on the hill
BridgeBmGDA7BmGDA7
One friend left to sell clothes and, one works down by the coast
BmGDA7
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
BmGDA7
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by but
BmGDA7
These people raised me and I-I-I, can't wait to go home
Chorus 3DDGBmA7
And I'm on my way, I still remember
DDGBmA7
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
DDGBmA7
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
DDGBmA7
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
DDGBmA7
Over the castle on the hill
DDGBmA7
Over the castle on the hill
