[Intro]

[Verse 1]
  G                       D              Em
When I was six years old I broke my leg
G                             D
I was running from my brother and his friends   Em
G                             D
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
                       G                 Em D
I was younger then, take me back to when I
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Found my heart and broke it here
Em
Made friends and lost them through the years
                         G
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so
Em
long, I know I've grown
G                 Em
But I can't wait to go home
 
 
[Chorus]
G
I'm on my way
Em                  G
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Em
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
G                  Em       G        Em
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
G              Em     G        Em
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                     D
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled
          Em
cigarettes
G
Running from the law through the backfields
D                                Em
and getting drunk with my friends
G                                    D
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
G                     Em D
But I was younger then, take me back to when
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
                              Em
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
G
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so
     Em
long, oh how we've grown
G                 Em
But I can't wait to go home
 
 
[Chorus]
              G
I'm on my way
Em             G
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Em
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
G                  Em       G        Em
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
G          Em              G         Em
When We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
G         Em
Over the castle on the hill
G         Em
Over the castle on the hill
 
 
[Bridge]
G
One friend left to sell clothes
Am
One works down by the coast
C
One had two kids but lives alone
Em
One's brother overdosed
G
One's already on his second wife
Am
One's just barely getting by
C
But these people raised me
Em
And I can't wait to go home
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  Am
And I'm on my way, I still remember
C
These old country lanes
                               Em
When we did not know the answers
G                  Em       G        Em
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
 
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
G         Em
Over the castle on the hill
G        Em
Over the castle on the hill
