When I was six (D)years (G)old I broke my leg,

and I was run (D)ning (G)from my broth er and (Bm7)his friends,

and tast (D)ed the (G)sweet per fume of the moun tain grass I rolled down.

I was young (D)er (G)then.

Take me back to (Asus)when

(Asus)I

found my heart and broke it (A)here, made friends and lost them through (G6)drink the years.

And (Bm7)I’ve not seen the roar ing (A)fields in so long.

I know I’ve grown,

but (G6/9)I can’t wait to go home.

(D)I’m on (D)my (G)way,

(Bm7)driv ing at (A)nine ty (A)down those coun (D)try (G)lanes,

(Bm7)sing ing to “Ti ny Danc (A)er,” and (D)I miss (D)the way you make

me feel, and it’s (A)real, when (D)we watched (D)the (G)sun set (Bm7)o ver the (A7)cas tle on (A)the hill.

Fif teen (D)years (G)old and smok ing hand rolled cig a rettes,

run ning from (D)the law through the back fields and get ting drunk with (Asus)my friends.

Had my (D)first (G)kiss on Fri day night; I don’t (Asus)reck on that I did (Asus)it (D5)right, but I was young (D)er (G)then.

Take me back to (Asus)when we (Asus)found tle on (A)the hill, hee (D)hoo,

One friend left to sew clothes, and one works down by the coast; one had two kids but lives a lone;

one’s broth er o ver dosed;

one’s al read (A)y on his sec ond wife;

one’s just bare ly get ting by.

But these peo ple raised me and I,

ooh, can’t wait to go home.

And (D)I’m on (A6)my (Gmaj7)way.

(Bm7)I still re mem ber these old coun (Dmaj7)try (Gmaj7)lanes

when (Bm7)we did not (A7sus)know the an swers.

And (D)I miss (D)the way you make

me feel, and it’s (A)real when (D)we watched (D)the (G)sun set (Bm7)o ver the (A7)cas tle on (A)the hill, hee (D)hoo,
