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.
