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