D5 D/F# G5
When I was six years old
Bm7 A4
I broke my leg
D5 D/F# G5
I was running from my brother
Bm7 A4
And his friends
ย
D5 D/F# G5
Tasted the sweet perfume
Bm7 A4
Of the mountain grass as I rolled down
D5 D/F# G5
I was younger then
Bm7 A4
Take me back to when I
ย
G5 A4 D5
Found my heart and broke it here
G5
Made friends and lost them
ย
Through the years
A4 D5
And I've not seen the roaring fields
G5
In so long I know I've grown
A4
But I can't wait to go home
ย
D D4 G/F# G5
I'm on my way
Bm7A7
Driving at 90 down
D D4 G/F# G5
Those country lanes
Bm7A7
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
ย
D D4 G/F# G5
And I miss the way you make
Bm7A7
Me feel, and it's real
D D4 G/F# G
We watched the sunset
Bm7A7D
Over the castle on the hill
ย
D5 D/F# G5
Fifteen years old
Bm7 A4
And smoking handrolled cigarettes
D5 D/F# G5
Running from the law
ย
Through the backfields and
ย
Bm7A7
Getting drunk with my friends
ย
D5 D/F# G5 Bm7
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
A4
I don't reckon that I did it right
D5 D/F# G
But I was younger then
Bm7 A4
Take me back to when, we found
ย
G5 A4 D5
Weekend jobs, when we got paid
G5
We'd buy cheap spirits
ย
And drink them straight
A4
Me and my friends
D5
Have not thrown up in so long
G5
Oh how we've grown
A4
But I can't wait to go home
ย
D D4 G/F# G5
I'm on my way
Bm7A7
Driving at 90 down
D D4 G/F# G5
Those country lanes

Singing to "Tiny Dancer"

D D4 G/F# G5
And I miss the way you make

Me feel, and it's real
D D4 G/F# G
We watched the sunset
Bm7 A7 D D4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Bm7 A7 D D4 G/F#
Over the castle on the hill
Bm7 A7 Bm7 G5 D5 A4
Over the castle on the hill
ย
Bm7 G5
One friend left to sell clothes
D5 A4
One works down by the coast
Bm7 G5
One had two kids but lives alone
D5 A4
One's brother overdosed
ย
Bm7 G5
One's already on his second wife
D5 A4
One's just barely getting by but
Bm7 G5
These people raised me
D5 A4
And I can't wait to go home
ย
D5 D/F# G5
And I'm on my way
Bm7 A4
I still remember
D5 D/F# G5
These old country lanes
Bm7 A4
When we did not know the answers
D D4 G/F# G5
And I miss the way you make
Bm7A7
Me feel, it's real
D D4 G/F# G5
We watched the sunset
Bm7 A7 D D4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Bm7 A7 D D4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Bm7A7D
Over the castle on the hill
