Intro : Bb5 Ab5  Eb5

            Bb5
            I'm sittin in a railway station
                  F5                    Ab5  G5
            Got a ticket for my destination
            C5
            On a tour of one night stands
               Ab5
            My suitcase and guitar in hand
                Bb5
            And every stop is neatly planned
                  F5
            For a poet and a one man band

            Bb5        Eb5               Bb5             Eb5
      CHORUS:      Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound
               Bb5              Ab5         Eb5
          |       Home, where my thoughts escaping
               Bb5              Ab5       Eb5
          |       Home, where my music's playing
               Bb5              Ab5         Eb5
          |       Home, where my love lies waiting
               F5        Bb5
          |       Silently for me


            Bb5
            Every day's an endless stream
               F5                       Ab5      G5
            Of cigarettes and magazines
                C5
            And each town looks the same to me
                Ab5
            The movies and the factories
                Bb5
            And every stranger's face I see
              F5
            Reminds me that I long to be

            CHORUS

            Bb5
            Tonight I'll sing my songs again
                 F5                         Ab5 G5
            I'll play the game and pretend
                C5
            But all my words come back to me
               Ab5
            In shades of mediocrity
                 Bb5
            Like emptyness in harmony
              F5
            I need someone to comfort me.

            CHORUS ...
            F5    Bb5        Bb5  Ab5  Eb5  Bb5
            Silently for me ...
