IntroDVerse 1DD/F#GBmA
When I was six years old I broke my leg
DD/F#GBmA
And I was running from my brother and his friends
DD/F#GBmA
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
DD/F#GBmA
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 1DD/F#GBmA7sus4
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
DD/F#GBmA7sus4D
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Verse 2DD/F#GBmA
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
DD/F#GBmA
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
DD/F#GBmA
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it
DD/F#GBmA
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 2DD/F#GBmA7sus4
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
BridgeBmGDA7sus4BmGDA7sus4
One friend left to sell clothes and, one works down by the coast
BmGDA7sus4
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
BmGDA7sus4
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by but
BmGDA7sus4
These people raised me and I-I-I, can't wait to go home
Chorus 3DD/F#GBmA7sus4
And I'm on my way, I still remember
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
DD/F#GBmA7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
