Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I'm sitting in the railway station.

 Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm

On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.

 And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band.

Chorus

 Homeward bound, wish I was,

 Homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lays waiting

Silently for me.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream

 Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm

 And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

 And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,

Repeate chorus

 Tonight I'll sing my songs again,

 I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm

 But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

 Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Repeate chorus

Silently for me.
