[Verse 1 - Over riff]
[D] When I was six years
[G] old I broke my leg [Bm] [A]
[D] And I was running
[G] from my brother and [Bm] his friends [A]
[D] And tasted the
[G] sweet perfume of the [Bm] mountain grass as I [A] rolled down
[D] I was younger [G] then,
[Bm] take me back to [A] when I
[Pre-Chorus 1 - Slap snare]
[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, I [G] know I've grown
[G] But I can't [A] wait to go home
[Chorus 1 - Full drums]
[D] I'm on [D/F#] my [G] way,
[Bm] driving at [A7sus4] ninety Down
[D] those coun [D/F#] try
[G] lanes [Bm] singing to [A7sus4] Tiny Dancer And
[D] I miss [D/F#] the
[G] way you make [Bm] me feel [A7sus4] and it's real When
[D] we watched [D/F#] the
[G] sunset [Bm] over the [A7sus4] castle on the hill
[Riff - 0 7e 10 (10) for 2 bars - Drums stop]
[D]
[Verse 2 - chords where you hold high A - Full drums]
[D] Fifteen years [G] old and smoking
[Bm] hand-rolled cigarettes [A]
[D] Running from the law [G] 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 I did it
[D] Right, I was younger [G] then
[Bm] take me back to w [A] hen we found
[Pre-Chorus 2]
[G] Weekend [A] jobs and 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
[Chorus 2]
[D] I'm on [D/F#] my [G] way,
[Bm] driving at [A7sus4] ninety Down
[D] those coun [D/F#] try
[G] lanes [Bm] singing to [A7sus4] Tiny Dancer And
[D] I miss [D/F#] the
[G] way you make [Bm] me feel [A7sus4] and it's real When
[D] we watched [D/F#] the
[G] sunset
[Bm] over the [A7sus4] castle on the hill
[D] woo [D/F#] ooo [G] oooh
[Bm] Over the [A7sus4] astle on the hill (drums stop)
[Bridge - No drums]
[Bm] [G] [D] [A7sus4]
(Just bass drum)
[Bm] One friend [G] left to sell clothes,
[D] one works A7sus4] down by the coast
[Bm] One had two [G] kids but lives alone,
[D] one's [A7sus4] brother overdosed
[Bm] One's al [G] ready on his second wife,
[D] one's just [A7sus4] barely getting by but
[Bm] These people [G] raised me and I-I-I,
[D] can't [A7sus4] wait to go home
[Chorus 3 - Still no drums]
[D] I'm on [D/F#] my [G] way,
[Bm] driving at [A7sus4] ninety Down
[D] those coun [D/F#] try
[G] lanes when [Bm] we did not [A7sus4] know the answers and
(full drums)
[D] I miss [D/F#] the
[G] way you make [Bm] me feel [A7sus4] and it's real When
[D] we watched [D/F#] the
[G] sunset
[Bm] over the [A7sus4] castle on the hill
[D] woo [D/F#] ooo [G] oooh
[Bm] Over the [A7sus4] astle on the hill
[D] woo [D/F#] ooo [G] oooh

[Bm] Over the [A7sus4] astle on the hill
