| [C] | [C] | [C] | [C] |
| [C] ...When I was six years | [F] old I broke my leg | [Am]... | [G]... |
| [C] ...And I was running | [F] from my brother and | [Am] his friends | [G]... |
| [C] ...And tasted the | [F] sweet perfume of the | [Am] mountain grass as I | [G] rolled down |
| [C] ...I was younger | [F] then | [Am] ...take me back to | [G] when... I |
Pre- Chorus
| [F] ...Found my | [G] heart and broke it | [C] here, made friends
and | [F] lost them through the years |
| [F] ...And I've not | [G] seen the roaring | [C] fields in so long, | [F] I know I've grown |
| [F] ...But I can't | [G↓] wait to go home |
Chorus
| [C] I'm on my | [F] way... | [Am] driving at | [G] ninety
Down | [C] those country | [F] lanes... | [Am] singing to | [G] Tiny Dancer
And | [C] I miss the | [F] way you make | [Am] ...me feel | [G] ...and it's real
When | [C] we watched the | [F] sunset | [Am] over the | [G] castle on the hill | [C] | [C]
| [C] ...Fifteen years | [F] old and smoking | [Am] hand- rolled cigarettes | [G] |
| [C] ...Running from the | [F] law through the backfields and | [Am] getting drunk with my | [G] friends |
| [C] ...Had my first | [F] kiss on a Friday | [Am] night, I don't re- | [G] ckon I did it |
| [C] Right, I was younger | [F] then... | [Am] take me back to | [G] when we found |
Pre- Chorus
| [F] ...Weekend | [G] jobs and when we got | [C] paid
We'd buy cheap | [F] spirits and drink them |
| [F] straight, Me and my | [G] friends have not thrown | [C] up in so long |
| [F] oh how we've grown |
| [F] ...But I can't | [G↓] wait to go home |
Chorus
| [C] I'm on my | [F] way... | [Am] driving at | [G] ninety
Down | [C] those country | [F] lanes... | [Am] singing to | [G] Tiny Dancer
And | [C] I miss the | [F] way you make | [Am] ...me feel | [G] ...and it's real
When | [C] we watched the | [F] sunset | [Am] over the | [G] castle on the hill |

| [C] Ooh | [F] ooh- ooh | [Am] Over the | [G] castle on the hill |
Bridge
| [Am] | [F] | [C] | [G] |
| [Am] ...One friend | [F] left to sell clothes | [C] ...one works | [G] down by the coast |

| [Am] ...One's al- | [F] ready on his second wife | [C] ...one's just | [G] barely getting by but |
| [Am] ...These people | [F] raised me and I- I- I | [C] ...can't | [G] wait to go home |
