D                D     
  When I was six years 
  G                  Bm   A
  old I broke my leg
D               D    
  And I was running  
  G                   
  from my brother and 
   Bm         A
  his friends
D            D     G                  
  And tasted the sweet perfume of the 
   Bm                 A
  mountain grass as I rolled down
D           D   
  I was younger  
    G   Bm                 A
  then,  take me back to when I
 

G           A                 
  Found my heart and broke it 
   D
  here
                    G
  Made friends and lost them through the years
G               A               
  And I've not seen the roaring 
   D                  G
  fields in so long, I know I've grown
G              A
  But I can't wait to go home
 

  D      D    G    
  I'm on my   way, 
  Bm         A7    
  driving at ninety
       D         D    G     
  Down those country  lanes 
  Bm         A7    
  singing to Tiny Dancer
      D      D    
  And I miss the  
  G           Bm       A7    
  way you make  me feel      and it's real
       D          D    G      
  When we watched the  sunset 
  Bm        A7                 D
  over the castle on the hill
 
 

D         D     G               
  Fifteen years old and smoking 
  Bm                     A
  hand-rolled cigarettes
D              D      G                          
  Running from the law through the backfields and  
Bm                      A
  getting drunk with my friends
D        D      G               
  Had my first kiss on a Friday 
   Bm             A
  night, I don't reckon I did it
D                D    G    
Right, I was younger  then, 
Bm                 A 
  take me back to when we found
 

G          A                   
  Weekend jobs and when we got 
   D
  paid
                  G          
  We'd buy cheap spirits and 
              G
  drink them straight
             A                      
  Me and my friends have not thrown 
   D              G
  up in so long, oh how we've grown
G             A
  But I can't wait to go home
 
 

  D      D    G    Bm             
  I'm on my   way, driving at 
  A7
  ninety
       D         D    G     
  Down those country  lanes 
  Bm         A7    
  singing to Tiny Dancer
      D      D    G             
  And I miss the  way you make 
Bm       A7  
  me feel      and it's real
  D          D    G      
  We watched the  sunset 
  Bm        A7    
  over the castle on the hill

              Over the castle on the hill

              Over the castle on the hill
 
 

Bm  G  D  A7    
 
Bm             G                      
   One friend left to sell clothes, 
 D           A7 
   one works down by the coast
Bm              G                      
   One had two kids but lives alone, 
 D       A7 
   one's brother overdosed
Bm         G                          
   One's already on his second wife, 
  D            A7  
   one's just barely getting by but
Bm               G                     
   These people raised me and I-I-I, 
  D       A7 
   can't wait to go home
 
 

      D      D    G      
  And I'm on my   way, 
  Bm        A7  
  I still remember
        D       D    G          
  These old country  lanes when 
  Bm         A7    
  we did not know the answers
      D      D    G              
  And I miss the  way you make  
 Bm       A7 
  me feel      and it's real
  D          D    G     
  We watched the sunset 
  Bm        A7    
  over the castle on the hill
  D  D    G   Bm        A7    
              Over the castle on the hill
  D  D    G   Bm        
              Over the 
   A7                 D
   castle on the hill
