Verse 1:

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


Verse 2:

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


Pre-Chorus 2:

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


Bridge:

Em7G D A

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


Chorus 3:

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