[Intro]
| D | - | - | - |

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

[Pre-Chorus]
 G         A                  D
I found my heart and broke it here
                 G
Made friends and lost them through the years
             A                D         D/F#
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so  long
G
I know I've grown
            A
But I can't wait to go home

[Chorus]
D      D/F# G
I'm on my   way
Bm        A            D          D/F# G
Driving at ninety down those country   lanes
Bm         A
Singing to Tiny Dancer
D          D/F#   G
And I miss the way
        Bm       A
You make  me feel
And it's real
D              D/F#    G       Bm      A
When we watched    the sunset over the castle on the hill

[Verse 2]
D        D/F#  G                   Bm               A
 Fifteen years old and smoking handrolled cigarettes
D            D/F#       G
 Running from    the law through the backfields
   Bm                   A         D
and  getting drunk with my friends
       D/F#  G                     Bm
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
        A                    D
I don't reckon that I did it right
          D/F# G
I was younger  then
Bm                A
  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
          A                       D     D/F#
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so  long
G
Oh how we've grown
            A
But I can't wait to go home

[Chorus]
D      D/F# G
I'm on my   way
Bm        A            D          D/F# G
Driving at ninety down those country   lanes
Bm         A
Singing to Tiny Dancer
D          D/F#   G
And I miss the way
        Bm       A
You make  me feel
And it's real
D              D/F#    G       Bm      A                 D D/F# G
When we watched    the sunset over the castle on the hill
 Bm      A                 D D/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
 Bm      A                 D
Over the castle on the hill

[Interlude]
Bm G D A
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 I can't wait to go home

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