[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D F# G Bm A
When I was six years old I broke my leg
D F# G Bm A
And I was running from my brother and his friends
D F# G Bm A
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
D F# G Bm 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 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 Bm A7sus4
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
D D/F# G Bm A7sus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
D D/F# G Bm A7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
D D/F# G Bm A7sus4 D
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
[Verse 2]
D F# G Bm A
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D F# G Bm A
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D F# G Bm A
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it
D F# G Bm A
Right, I was younger then, take me back to when we found
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G A D
Weekend jobs and 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 F# G Bm A7sus4
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
D F# G Bm A7sus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
D F# G Bm A7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
D F# G Bm A7sus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D F# G Bm A7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
D F# G Bm A7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
[Bridge]
Bm G D A7sus4
Bm G D A7sus4
One friend left to sell clothes and, one works down by the coast
Bm G D A7sus4
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
Bm G D A7sus4
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by but
Bm G D A7sus4
These people raised me and I-I-I, can't wait to go home
[Chorus 3]
D F# G Bm A7sus4
And I'm on my way, I still remember
D F# G Bm A7sus4
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
D F# G Bm A7sus4
And I miss the way you make me feel and it's real
D F# G Bm A7sus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D F# G Bm A7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
D F# G Bm A7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
D
