[Verse 1]
D7/C G/F# G
When I was six years old
Dsus4/B A7sus4
I broke my leg
D Dsus4 G/F# G Dsus4/B A7sus4
And I was running from my brother and his friends
D Dsus4 G/F# G Dsus4/B A7sus4 D
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
Dsus4 G/F# G
I was younger then
Dsus4/B A7sus4
Take me back to when
G A7sus4 D
I found my heart and broke it here
Dsus4 G
Made my friends and lost them through the years
A7sus4 D Dsus4
And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long
G
I know I’ve grown
A7sus4
I can’t wait to go home
[Chorus]
D Dsus4 G/F# G
I’m on my way
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D
Driving at ninety down those old
Dsus4 G/F# G
Country lake
Dsus4/B A7sus4
Singing to Tiny Dancer
D Dsus4 G/F# G Dsus4/B A7sus4
And I miss the way you made me feel
D Dsus4 G/F# G
It’s real, we watched the sunset
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D
Over the castle on the hill
[Verse 2]
D7/C G/F# G
Fifteen years old
Dsus4/B A7sus4
And smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
D Dsus4 G/F# G
Running from the lot to the back fields
Dsus4/B A7sus4
And getting drunk with my friends
D Dsus4 G/F# G Dsus4/B
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
A7sus4 D
I don’t reckon that I did it right
Dsus4 G/F# G
But I was younger then
Dsus4/B A7sus4
Take me back to when
G A7sus4 D
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
Dsus4 G
We’d buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
A7sus4 D Dsus4
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
G
Oh, how we’ve grown
A7sus4
I can’t wait to go home
[Chorus]
D Dsus4 G/F# G
I’m on my way
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D
Driving at ninety down those old
Dsus4 G/F# G
Country lake
Dsus4/B A7sus4
Singing to Tiny Dancer
D Dsus4 G/F# G Dsus4/B A7sus4
And I miss the way you made me feel
D Dsus4 G/F# G
It’s real, we watched the sunset
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D Dsus4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D Dsus4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Dsus4/B A7sus4
Over the castle on the hill
[Interlude]
Dsus4/B G D A7sus4
[Bridge]
Dsus4/B G
One friend left to sell clothes
Dsus4/G A7sus4
One works down by the coast
Dsus4/B G Dsus4/G
One had two kids but lives alone
A7sus4 Dsus4/B
One’s brother overdosed
G Dsus4/G
One’s already on his second wife
A7sus4
One’s just barely getting by
Dsus4/B G
But these people raised me
Dsus4/G A7sus4
And I can’t wait to go home
[Chorus]
D Dsus4 G/F# G
I’m on my way
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D Dsus4 G/F# G
I still remember these old country lanes
Dsus4/B A7sus4
When we did not know the answers
D Dsus4 G/F# G Dsus4/B A7sus4
And I miss the way you made me feel
D Dsus4 G/F# G
It’s real, we watched the sunset
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D Dsus4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D Dsus4 G/F# G
Over the castle on the hill
Dsus4/B A7sus4 D
Over the castle on the hill
