[Intro]
D


[Verse 1]
D                    G                Bm   A
When I was six years old I broke my leg
D                     G                   Bm      A
I was running from my brother and his friends
D              G                    Bm               A    
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
D              G    Bm              A
I was younger then, take me back to when I


[Pre-chorus]
G         A
Found my heart and broke it here
D                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]
D         G
I'm on my way
Bm         A
Driving at 90 down 
D             G       
those country lanes
Bm          A
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
D              G           Bm            A
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
D              G      Bm       A             D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill


[Verse 2]
D             G               Bm                A
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D                G                           Bm                        A
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
D            G                Bm              A                   D
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
    D              G    Bm              A
But I was younger then, take me back to when 


[Pre-chorus]
         G        A                D
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
               G                  
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
G         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]
D         G
I'm on my way
Bm         A
Driving at 90 down 
D             G       
those country lanes
Bm          A
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
D              G           Bm            A
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
D              G      Bm       A             D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
G     Bm       A             D
      Over the castle on the hill
G     Bm       A             
      Over the castle on the hill


[Interlude]
Bm G D A


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


[Chorus]
    D         G    Bm        A
And I'm on my way, I still remember
   D              G
Those old country lanes
Bm              A
When we did not know the answers
D             G          Bm          A
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
D              G      Bm       A             D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
G     Bm       A             D
      Over the castle on the hill
G     Bm       A             D
      Over the castle on the hill
