Intro : Bb Ab  Eb

            Bb
            I'm sittin in a railway station
                  F                    Ab  G
            Got a ticket for my destination
            Cm
            On a tour of one night stands
               Ab
            My suitcase and guitar in hand
                Bb
            And every stop is neatly planned
                  F
            For a poet and a one man band

            Bb        Eb               Bb             Eb
      CHORUS:      Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound
               Bb              Ab         Eb
          |       Home, where my thoughts escaping
               Bb              Ab       Eb
          |       Home, where my music's playing
               Bb              Ab         Eb
          |       Home, where my love lies waiting
               F        Bb
          |       Silently for me


            Bb
            Every day's an endless stream
               F                       Ab      G
            Of cigarettes and magazines
                Cm
            And each town looks the same to me
                Ab
            The movies and the factories
                Bb
            And every stranger's face I see
              F
            Reminds me that I long to be

            CHORUS

            Bb

                 F                         Ab G
            I'll play the game and pretend
                Cm
            But all my words come back to me
               Ab
            In shades of mediocrity
                 Bb
            Like emptyness in harmony
              F
            I need someone to comfort me.

            CHORUS ...
            F    Bb        Bb  Ab  Eb  Bb
            Silently for me ...
