Homeward Bound

VERSE 1

5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6 5
Im sitting in the railway station.

5 5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5 5
Got a ticket for my destination.

-5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
On a- tour of one-night stands,

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
My suitcase and guitar in hand,

-5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6
And every stop is neatly planned,

6 6 6 7 7 -8 -8 8 8 -8 7
For a poet and a- one-man ba–nd.

CHORUS

7 -7 7 -6
Home-ward bound,

6 -6 6 5 4
I wish I wa-s,

7 -7 7 -6
Home-ward bound.

8 8 8 -9 8 -8 7
Home, where my thoughts esca-ping,

8 8 8 -9 8 -8 7
Home, where my mu-sics playing,

8 8 8 -9 8 -8 7
Home, where my love lies waiting,

-8 8 -8 7 6
Si-lently for me.

VERSE 2

6 6 6 6 -6 6 6
Evry days an endless stream,

6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
Of cigarettes and ma-gazines.

5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
And each town looks the same to me,

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
The mo-vies and the facto-ries,

-5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6
And every strangers face I see

6 6 7 7 -8 -8 8 8 -8 7
Reminds me that I- long to be—-,

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3

5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6
Tonight Ill sing my songs a-gain,

6 -6 6 6 -6 6 5
Ill play the game and pretend.

5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
But all my words come back to me,

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
In shades of me-di-ocri-ty.

-5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6
Like emptiness in harmony,

6 6 7 7 -8 -8 8 8 -8 7
I need someone to comfort me—-.

REPEAT CHORUS

END

-8 8 -8 7 6
Si-lently for me.
