Verse:
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
When I was six years old I broke my leg
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
I was running from my brother and his friends
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Pre Chorus:
G Asus4 Dsus4
Found my heart and broke it here
G
Made friends and lost them through the years
Asus4 Dsus4 G
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
G Asus4
But I can't wait to go home
Chorus:
Dsus4 G/F# G
I'm on my way
Em7 Asus4 Dsus4 G/F# G
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Em7 Asus4
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
And I miss the waaaaay you make me feel, and it's real
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4 Dsus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Verse:
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
But I was younger then, take me back to when
Pre Chorus:
G Asus4 Dsus4
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
G
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
A Dsus4 G
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
Asus4
But I can't wait to go home
Chorus:
Dsus4 G/F# G
I'm on my way
Em7 Asus4 Dsus4 G/F# G
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Em7 Asus4
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Em7 G Dsus4 Asus4
Bridge:
Em7 G Dsus4/G
One friend left to sell clothes
Asus4
One works down by the coast
Em7 G Dsus4/G
One had two kids but lives alone
Asus4
One's brother overdosed
Em7 G Dsus4/G
One's already on his second wife
Asus4
One's just barely getting by
Em7 G
But these people raised me
Dsus4/G Asus4
And I can't wait to go home
Chorus:
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
And I'm on my way, I still remember
Dsus4 G/F# G
These old country lanes
Em7 Asus4
When we did not know the answers
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Dsus4 G/F# G Em7 Asus4 D
