[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G Bm A
When I was six years old I broke my leg
D G Bm A
I was running from my brother and his friends
D G Bm A
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
D G Bm A
I was younger then, take me back to when I
[Pre-chorus]
G A
Found my heart and broke it here
D G
Made 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]
D G
I'm on my way
Bm A
Driving at 90 down
D G
those country lanes
Bm A
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
D G Bm A
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
D G Bm A D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
[Verse 2]
D G Bm A
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D G Bm A
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D G Bm A D
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
D G Bm A
But I was younger then, take me back to when
[Pre-chorus]
G A D
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
G
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
G 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]
D G
I'm on my way
Bm A
Driving at 90 down
D G
those country lanes
Bm A
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
D G Bm A
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
D G Bm A D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
G Bm A D
Over the castle on the hill
G Bm A
Over the castle on the hill
[Interlude]
Bm G D A
[Bridge]
Bm G
One friend left to sell clothes
D A
One works down by the coast
Bm G
One had two kids but lives alone
D A
One's brother overdosed
Bm G
One's already on his second wife
D A
One's just barely getting by
Bm G
But these people raised me
D A
And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
D G Bm A
And I'm on my way, I still remember
D G
Those old country lanes
Bm A
When we did not know the answers
D G Bm A
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
D G Bm A D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
G Bm A D
Over the castle on the hill
G Bm A D
Over the castle on the hill
