Verse 1:
When I was six years old I broke my leg
F# F# F# E D A D D D D
I was running from my brother and his friends
F# F# E D G F# E D G F# F#
And tasted sweet perfume of the mountain as I rolled down

I was younger then,
F# F# F# E D
Take me back to when…
G G G F# E
Pre-Chorus:
I found my heart and broke it here
D D D A C# D D D E
Made friends and lost them through the years

And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long,
B B B A F# A A A E F# F#
I know I’ve grown
F# E F# F#
And I can’t wait to go home
E F# E E D D A
Chorus:
I’m on my way
D E F# F#
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
D E F# C# D D D E F# F#
Singing to “Tiny Dancer”
D E F# G F# E D
And I miss the way

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D G F# E D D E F# C# A D D D

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
F# F# E D A D A D A D D D
Running from the law through the backfields
A A A A A F# F# F# E D
and getting drunk with my friends
E F# F# F# E D D
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
A D A B A F# F# A A
I don’t reckon that I did it right
A A G G F# F# F# E D
But I was younger then,
D F# F# F# E D
Take me back to when…
G G G F# E
Pre-Chorus:
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
F# D D D D A C# D D
We’d buy cheap spirits, drink them straight
D E F# G F# E D D
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long,

Oh, how we’ve grown
F# E F# F#
I can’t wait to go home

Singing to “Tiny Dancer”

And I miss the way

You make me feel,

And it’s real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Bridge:
One friend left to sell clothes
F# F# F# E E D
One works down by the coast
F# F# F# E A F#
One had two kids but lives alone
A A A A B F# E D
One’s brother overdosed
F# F# E D E F#
One’s already on his second wife
A A B A A F# A F# F#
One’s just barely getting by
A A A F# D E F#
But these people raised me

And I can’t wait to go home
E F# F# D C# D D
Chorus:
I’m on my way
D E F# F#
Driving at 90 down those country lanes

Singing to “Tiny Dancer”

And I miss the way
D D A F# F#
You make me feel,
E D F# F#
And it’s real
D F# F#
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
D G F# E D D E F# C# A D D D
