BPM: ♩ = 135

Time: 4/4

||D |

|D |

||D |

When I was six years

|G |

old, I broke my leg-

|Bm |

|A |

||D |

I was running

|G |

from my brother and

|Bm |

his friends-

|A |

||D |

Tasted the

|G |

sweet perfume of the

|Bm |

mountain grass I

|A |

rolled down-

||D |

I was younger

|G |

then,

|Bm |

take me back to

|A |

when I-

||G |

Found my

|A |

heart and broke it

|D |

here, made friends and

|G |

lost them through the years-

||G |

And I’ve not

|A |

seen the roaring

|D |

fields in so long,

|G |

I know I’ve grown-

||G |

But I can’t

|A |

wait to go home-

||D |

I’m on my

|G |

way,

|Bm |

driving at

|A |

90 down-

||D |

those country

|G |

lanes,

|Bm |

singing to “

|A |

Tiny Dancer,” and-

||D |

I miss the

|G |

way you make-

|Bm |

me feel,

|A |

and it’s real-

||D |

We watched the

|G |

sunset

|Bm |

over the

|A |

castle on the hill-

||D |

|D |

||D |

Fifteen years

|G |

old and smoking

|Bm |

hand-rolled cigarettes-

|A |

||D |

Running from the

|G |

law through the backfields and-

|Bm |

getting drunk with my

|A |

friends-

||D |

Had my first

|G |

kiss on a Friday

|Bm |

night, I don’t

|A |

reckon that I did it right-

||D |

But I was younger

|G |

then,

|Bm |

take me back to

|A |

when, we found-

||G |

weekend

|A |

jobs, when we got

|D |

paid, we’d buy cheap

|G |

spirits and drink them-

||G |

straight, me and my

|A |

friends have not thrown

|D |

up in so long,

|G |

oh how we’ve grown-

||G |

But I can’t

|A |

wait to go home-

||D |

I’m on my

|G |

way,

|Bm |

driving at

|A |

90 down-

||D |

those country

|G |

lanes,

|Bm |

singing to “

|A |

Tiny Dancer,” and-

||D |

I miss the

|G |

way you make-

|Bm |

me feel,

|A |

and it’s real-

||D |

We watched the

|G |

sunset

|Bm |

over the

|A |

castle on the hill-

||D |

|G |

|Bm |

Over the

|A |

castle on the hill-

||D |

|G |

|Bm |

Over the

|A |

castle on the hill-

||Bm |

|G |

|D |

|A |

||Bm |

One friend

|G |

left to sell clothes,

|D |

one works

|A |

down by the coast-

||Bm |

One had two

|G |

kids but lives alone,

|D |

one’s

|A |

brother overdosed-

||Bm |

One’s al-

|G |

ready on his second wife,

|D |

one’s just

|A |

barely getting by-

||Bm |

But these people

|G |

raised me, and I-

|D |

can’t

|A |

wait to go home, and-

||D |

I’m on my

|G |

way,

|Bm |

I still re-

|A |

member, these-

||D |

old country

|G |

lanes, when

|Bm |

we did not

|A |

know the answers, and-

||D |

I miss the

|G |

way you make-

|Bm |

me feel,

|A |

and it’s real-

||D |

We watched the

|G |

sunset

|Bm |

over the

|A |

castle on the hill-

|Bm |

Over the

castle on the hill-

Over the

castle on the hill-
