Verse 1:

D        D/F# G         Bm  A
 When I was six years old I broke my leg
D        D/F# G          Bm     A
 And I was running from my brother and his friends
D      D/F# G          Bm         A
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
D      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     D/F# G        Bm           A
 Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D       D/F#  G             Bm           A
 Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D    D/F#  G        Bm       A
 Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it
D        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   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
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

 D     D/F# G   Bm    A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill
 D     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   D/F# G  Bm    A7sus4
 And I'm on my  way, I still remember
    D    D/F# G     Bm     A7sus4
 These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
   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
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

 D     D/F# G   Bm    A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill
 D     D/F# G   Bm    A7sus4
             Over the castle on the hill
