[Verse 1]
(C Em) F Am G
When I was six years old I broke my leg
(C Em) F Am G
I was running from my brother and his friends
( C Em) F Am G
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
( C Em) F Am G
I was younger then take me back to when I
[Pre-Chorus] 1
F G C
Found my heart and broke it here
F
Made friends and lost them through the years
(F Am) G C
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long
F
I know I've grown
F G
But/And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus 1]
(C Em) F Am G
I'm on my waaaaaay Driving at 9 down
(C Em) F Am G
Those country lanes Singing to Tiny Dancer And
(C Em) F Am G
I miss the waaaaaay you make me feel and it's real
(C Em) F Am G C C
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
[Verse 2]
(C Em) F Am G
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
(C Em) F Am G
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
(C Em) F Am G
Had my first kiss on a Friday night I don't reckon that I did it right
(C Em) F Am G
But I was younger then take me back to when
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F G C
We found weekend jobs when we got paid
F
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
(F Am) G C
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
F F G
Oh how we've grown But I can't wait to go home
[Chorus 2]
(C Em) F Am G
I'm on my waaaaaay Driving at 9 down
(C Em) F Am G
Those country lanes Singing to Tiny Dancer And
(C Em) F Am G
I miss the waaaaaay you make me feel and it's real
(C Em) F Am G
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
[Chorus tag 1]
(C Em) F Am G
Over the castle on the hill
(C Em) F Am G Am F C G
Over the castle on the hill
[Bridge 1]
Am F C G
One friend left to sell clothes One works down by the
Am F C G
coast One had two kids but lives alone One's brother overdosed
Am F
One's already on his second wife
C G
One's just barely getting by
Am F
But these people raised me
C G
And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus 3]
(C Em) F Am G
And I'm on my way I still remember Those
(C Em) F Am G
old country lanes When we did not know the answers And
(C Em) F Am G
I miss the way you make me feel it's real
(C Em) F Am G
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
[Outro]
(C Em) F Am G
Over the castle on the hill
(C Em) F Am G C C C C
