Verse 1:

D MajorD        D/F#D/F# G+G          E minor 7Em7  A augmentedA
 When I was six years old I broke my leg
D MajorD        D/F#D/F# G+G          E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA
 And I was running from my brother and his friends
D MajorD      D/F#D/F# G+G         E minor 7Em7       A augmentedA
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
D MajorD      D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7        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 my 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  E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
 I'm on my  way, driving at ninety
    D MajorD    D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
 Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
   D MajorD D/F#D/F#  G+G      E minor 7Em7   A augmentedA
 And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
 D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Verse 2:

D MajorD    D/F#D/F# G+G        E minor 7Em7          A augmentedA
 Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G              E minor 7Em7           A augmentedA
 Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G        E minor 7Em7       A augmentedA
 Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   E minor 7Em7        A augmentedA
 I was younger then, take me back to when


Pre-Chorus 2:

      G+G    A augmentedA         D MajorD
 We found weekend jobs, 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  E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
   D MajorD    D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
  D MajorD  D/F#D/F# G+G      E minor 7Em7   A augmentedA
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
     Over the castle on the hill
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
     Over the castle on the hill


Bridge:

Em7G D MajorD A augmentedA

E minor 7Em7    G+G          D MajorD            A augmentedA
One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast
E minor 7Em7     G+G          D MajorD    A augmentedA
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
E minor 7Em7   G+G             D MajorD      A augmentedA
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by
E minor 7Em7        G+G       D MajorD   A augmentedA
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home


Chorus 3:

   D MajorD  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
And I'm on my way, I still remember
   D MajorD    D/F#D/F# G+G     E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
  D MajorD  D/F#D/F# G+G      E minor 7Em7   A augmentedA
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D MajorD     D/F#D/F# G+G   E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
     Over the castle on the hill
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
     Over the castle on the hill
