Start Jamming...
[Gb] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb] I'm sitting in a railway station, [Dm] got a [F] ticket for my [Fm] destination.
[G] On [Cm]
a tour of one night [Ab] stands my suitcase and guitar in [Bb] hand,
and every stop is neatly [F] planned for a poet and a one man [Bb] band.
[Eb] Homeward bound, I [Bb] wish I was [Eb] homeward bound.
[Bb]
Home, where [Cm] my thoughts [Bb] escape in.
[Cm] Home, where my [Bb] music's playing.
[Fm] Home, where my love lies waiting silently [Bb] for me.
Every day is an endless [F] stream of cigarettes and [Ab] magazines.
[G]
[Cm] And each town looks the same to [Ab] me, the movies and the factories,
[Bb] and every stranger's face I see [F] reminds me that I long to [Bb] be
[Eb] Homeward bound, I wish [Bb] I was [Eb] homeward bound.
[Bb]
Home, [Fm] where my thoughts escape [Bb] in.
Home, [Ab] where my [Bb] music's playing.
[Fm] Home, where [Ab] my love [Bb] lies [F] waiting silently [Bb] for me.
Tonight I'll sing my songs [F] again, I'll play the game and [Ab] pretend.
[G]
But [Cm] all my words come back to [Ab] me in shades of mediocrity,
[Bb] like emptiness and harmony.
I [F] need someone to comfort [Bb] me.
[Eb] Homeward bound, I wish [Bb] I was [Eb] homeward bound.
[Bb]
Home, where [Ab] my thoughts [Bb] escape in.
[Fm] Home, where my [Bb] music's playing.
[Ab] Home, where my love lies [F] waiting silently [Bbm] for me.
[F] Silently [Ab] for me.
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
