Homeward Bound

Verse:
    Bb
I'm sitting in the railway station.
      Bbmaj7                  Bb7    G
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm
Cm                               G#
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
    Bb                                  F7               Bb
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band.
 
Chorus:
         D#            Bb
Homeward bound,  wish I was,
         D#
Homeward bound,
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my thought's escaping
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my music's playing,
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my love lays waiting
F           Bb
Silently for me.
 
Verse:
Bb
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
   Bbmaj7               Bb7      G
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm
    Cm                                  G#
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
    Bb                             F7                       Bb
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
 
Chorus:
         D#            Bb
Homeward bound,  wish I was,
         D#
Homeward bound,
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my thought's escaping
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my music's playing,
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my love lays waiting
F           Bb
Silently for me.
 
Verse:
  Bb
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
     Bbmaj7                 Bb7     G
I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm
    Cm                              G#
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
     Bb                      F7                      Bb
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
 
Chorus:
         D#            Bb
Homeward bound,  wish I was,
         D#
Homeward bound,
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my thought's escaping
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my music's playing,
Bb             Bbsus4
Home where my love lays waiting
F           Bb
Silently for me.
