Verse 1:
C C / Bm C Fm G
When I was six years old I broke my leg
C C / Bm C Fm G
And I was running from my brother and his friends
C C / Bm C Fm
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass
G
as I rolled down
C C / Bm C Fm G
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Pre-Chorus 1:
C G C
Found my heart and broke it here
C
Made friends and lost them through the years

And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long,

I know I’ve grown
C G
But I can’t wait to Go home
Chorus 1:
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
I’m on my way, driving at ninety
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer

And I miss the way you make me feel and it’s real
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4 C
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Verse 2:
C C / Bm C Fm G
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes

Running from the law through the backfields

and getting drunk with my friends
C C / Bm C Fm G
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don’t reckon I did it
C C / Bm C Fm G
Right, I was younger then, take me back to when we found
Pre-Chorus 2:
C G C
Weekend jobs and when we got paid
C C
We’d buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long,
C
oh how we’ve grown
C G
But I can’t wait to Go home
Chorus 2:
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
I’m on my way, driving at ninety
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it’s real
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
Bridge: Fm C C G7sus4
Fm C C G7sus4
One friend left to sell clothes and, one works down by the coast
Fm C C G7sus4
One had two kids but lives alone, one’s brother overdosed
Fm C C G7sus4
One’s already on his second wife, one’s just barely getting
by but
Fm C C G7sus4
These people raised me and I-I-I, can’t wait to Go home

And I’m on my way, I still remember
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it’s real
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
C C / Bm C Fm G7sus4 C
Over the castle on the hill
