Verse 1:

D        D/F# G          Em7  A
 When I was six years old I broke my leg
D        D/F# G          Em7     A
 And I was running from my brother and his friends
D      D/F# G         Em7       A
 And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
D      D/F# G  Em7        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 my 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  Em7    A
 I'm on my  way, driving at ninety
    D    D/F# G  Em7    A
 Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
   D D/F#  G      Em7   A
 And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
 D     D/F# G   Em7    A
 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill


Verse 2:

D    D/F# G        Em7          A
 Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D       D/F# G              Em7           A
 Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D     D/F# G        Em7       A
 Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
D     D/F# G   Em7        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  Em7     A
I'm on my way, driving at ninety
   D    D/F# G  Em7    A
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
  D  D/F# G      Em7   A
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D     D/F# G   Em7    A
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D D/F# G Em7    A
     Over the castle on the hill
D D/F# G Em7    A
     Over the castle on the hill


Bridge:

Em7G D A

Em7    G          D            A
One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast
Em7     G          D    A
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed
Em7   G             D      A
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by
Em7        G       D   A
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home


Chorus 3:

   D  D/F# G  Em7    A
And I'm on my way, I still remember
   D    D/F# G     Em7     A
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
  D  D/F# G      Em7   A
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real
D     D/F# G   Em7    A
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D D/F# G Em7    A
     Over the castle on the hill
D D/F# G Em7    A
     Over the castle on the hill
