Intro:
D MajorD


Verse 1:

D MajorD        D/F#D/F# G+G         B minorBm  A augmentedA
 When I was six years old I broke my leg
D MajorD        D/F#D/F# G+G          B minorBm     A augmentedA
 And I was running from my brother and his friends
D MajorD      D/F#D/F# G+G          B minorBm         A augmentedA
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
D MajorD      D/F#D/F# G+G  B minorBm         A augmentedA
 I was younger then, take me back to when I

Pre-Chorus 1:

G+G      A augmentedA         D MajorD
 Found my heart and broke it here
          G+G
 Made friends and lost them through the years
G+G        A augmentedA        D MajorD         G+G
 And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
G+G       A augmentedA
 But I can't wait to go home


Chorus 1:

 D MajorD   D/F#D/F# G+G  B minorBm     A7sus4A7sus4
 I'm on my  way, driving at ninety
    D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm     A7sus4A7sus4
 Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
   D MajorD   D/F#D/F# G+G      B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
 And I miss the way you make me feel   and it's real
    D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4       D MajorD
 When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill


Verse 2:

D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G        B minorBm           A augmentedA
 Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D MajorD       D/F#D/F#  G+G             B minorBm           A augmentedA
 Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D MajorD    D/F#D/F#  G+G        B minorBm       A augmentedA
 Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it
D MajorD        D/F#D/F# G+G  B minorBm         A augmentedA
Right, I was younger then, take me back to when we found

Pre-Chorus 2:

G+G     A augmentedA          D MajorD
 Weekend jobs and when we got paid
         G+G           G+G
 We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
       A augmentedA            D MajorD       G+G
 Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
G+G       A augmentedA
 But I can't wait to go home


Chorus 2:

 D MajorD   D/F#D/F# G+G  B minorBm     A7sus4A7sus4
 I'm on my  way, driving at ninety
    D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm     A7sus4A7sus4
 Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
   D MajorD   D/F#D/F# G+G      B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
 And I miss the way you make me feel   and it's real
 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill
 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill


Bridge:

B minorBm G+G D MajorD A7sus4A7sus4

B minorBm       G+G            D MajorD      A7sus4A7sus4
  One friend left to sell clothes and, one works down by the coast
B minorBm       G+G          D MajorD    A7sus4A7sus4
  One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
B minorBm     G+G            D MajorD      A7sus4A7sus4
  One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by but
B minorBm        G+G         D MajorD    A7sus4A7sus4
  These people raised me and I-I-I, can't wait to go home


Chorus 3:

   D MajorD   D/F#D/F# G+G  B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
 And I'm on my  way, I still remember
    D MajorD    D/F#D/F# G+G     B minorBm     A7sus4A7sus4
 These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
   D MajorD   D/F#D/F# G+G      B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
 And I miss the way you make me feel   and it's real
 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm     A7sus4A7sus4
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill
 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   B minorBm    A7sus4A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill
 D MajorD
