Capo III

    G5
I'm sitting in the railway station. 
      B5            F5        E5 E5
Got a ticket for my destination. 
A5                               F5
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. 
    G5                                  D5                  G5
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band. 

         C5
Homeward bound, 
         G5
I wish I was, 
         C5
Homeward bound, 
G5             F5
Home where my thought's escaping, 
G5             F5
Home where my music's playing, 
G5             F5
Home where my love lies waiting 
D5        G5
Silently for me. 

G5
Ev'ry day's an endless stream 
   B5             F5      E5 E5
Of cigarettes and magazines. 
    A5                                  F5
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories 
    G5                           D5                         G5
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
 
         C5
Homeward bound, 
         G5
I wish I was, 
         C5
Homeward bound, 
G5             F5
Home where my thought's escaping, 
G5             F5
Home where my music's playing, 
G5             F5
Home where my love lies waiting 
D5        G5
Silently for me. 

G5
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, 
     B5                F5    E5 E5
I'll play the game and pretend. 
    A5                              F5
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity 
     G5                      D5                       G5
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me. 

         C5
Homeward bound, 
         G5
I wish I was, 
         C5
Homeward bound, 
G5             F5
Home where my thought's escaping, 
G5             F5
Home where my music's playing, 
G5             F5
Home where my love lies waiting 
D5        G5
Silently for me. 

D5        G5
Silently for me.
