Intro:

D


Verse 1:

D        D/F#  G         Bm7 A
 When I was six years old I broke my leg
D       D/F#  G          Bm7     A
 And I was running from my brother and his friends
D      D/F# G          Bm7        A
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
D      D/F# G  Bm7         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
        A         D          G
 And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
       A
 But I can't wait to go home


Chorus 1:

D     G  Bm7     A
I'm on my way, driving at 90
   D       G   Bm7    A
Down those country lanes, singing to Tiny Dancer
  D      G     Bm7   A
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D       G   Bm7    A         D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill


Verse 2:

D     D/F G        Bm7          A
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D      D/F  G              Bm7           A
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D    D/F  G        Bm7       A
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
D     D/F  G  Bm7        A
I was younger then, take me back to when


Pre-Chorus 2:

     G    A         D
We found weekend jobs, 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  Bm7     A
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
   D    D/F  G  Bm7    A
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
  D   D/F  G     Bm7   A
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D     D/F  G   Bm7    A
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D G Bm7    A
   Over the castle on the hill
D G Bm7    A
   Over the castle on the hill


Bridge:

Bm7 G D A

Bm7     G          D            A
One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast
Bm7     G          D    A
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
Bm7  G             D      A
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by
Bm7       G       D    A
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home


Chorus 3:

   D    G  Bm7    A
And I'm on my way, I still remember
   D    D/F  G     Bm7    A
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
  D   D/F  G     Bm7   A
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D     D/F  G   Bm7    A
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D G Bm7    A
   Over the castle on the hill
D G Bm7    A
