Homeward Bound
Simon & Garfunkel (Simon, 1965)
I'm | [A] sittin' in the railway station
Got a | [Amaj7] ticket for my destina- | [A7] tion, mm- | [F#m] mm |
| [Bm7] On a tour of one-night stands my | [G] suitcase and guitar in hand |
And | [A] ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a | [E7] poet and one-man band | [A]
Chorus
Homeward | [D] bound, I wish I | [A] was, homeward | [D] bound |
| [A] Home where my [D] thought's escapin' |
| [A] Home where my [D] music's playin' |
| [A] Home where my [D] love lays waitin', | [E7] silently [A] for me |
| [A] Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of | [Amaj7] cigarettes and maga- | [A7] zines, mm- | [F#m] mm
And | [Bm7] each town looks the same to me, the | [G] movies and the factories
And | [A] ev'ry stranger's face I see re- | [E7] minds me that I long to be | [A]
Chorus
Homeward | [D] bound, I wish I | [A] was, homeward | [D] bound |
| [A] Home where my [D] thought's escapin' |
| [A] Home where my [D] music's playin' |
| [A] Home where my [D] love lays waitin', | [E7] silently [A] for me |
To- | [A] night I'll sing my songs again
I'll | [Amaj7] play the game and pre- | [A7] tend, mm- | [F#m] mm
But | [Bm7] all my words come back to me in | [G] shades of mediocrity
Like | [A] emptiness in harmony I | [E7] need someone to comfort me | [A]
Chorus
Homeward | [D] bound, I wish I | [A] was, homeward | [D] bound |
| [A] Home where my [D] thought's escapin' |
| [A] Home where my [D] music's playin' |
| [A] Home where my [D] love lays waitin', | [E7] silently [A] for me |
| [Amaj7] Silently | [A7] for me | [A↓]
