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.
