    G                                     D                          Bm Em
I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination,  mm.
Am                                F
on a tour of one night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand,
    G               
and every stop is neatly planned, for a poet and a one man band
 
         C               G            C
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound,
G              F
home, where my thought's escaping,
G              F
home, where my music's playing,
G              F                 D        G
home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.
 
G                               D                          Bm Em
Everyday's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines,      mm
    Am                                   F
and each town looks the same to me , the movies and the factories,
    G  
and every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be.
 
         C               G            C
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound,
G              F
home, where my thought's escaping,
G              F
home, where my music's playing,
G              F                 D        G
home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.

G                                      D                          Bm Em
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend,   mm,
    Am                               F
but all my words come back to me, in shades of mediocrity,
     G        
like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
 
Chorus

     G       Em       G       Em
silently for me, silently for me  ... (rep. and fade)
