I'm sitting in the railway station.

      Em/B                Gm6/Bb     A7
Got a ticket to my destination.    Mmm

Dm                               Bb
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.

    C                                             G7            C
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.

         F
Homeward bound,

          C
 I wish I was,

         F
Homeward bound,

C             Dm        C Bb F
Home where my thought's escaping,

C             Dm C     Bb  F
Home where my mu-sic's playing,

C             Dm   C    Bb  F
Home where my love lies waiting

G        C
Silently for me.


                
Ev'ry day's an endless stream

   Em/B                  Gm6/Bb     A7
Of cigarettes and magazi-ines.    Mmm

    Dm                                  Bb
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

    C                                             G7          C
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,


         F
Homeward bound,

          C
 I wish I was,

         F
Homeward bound,

C             Dm        C Bb F
Home where my thought's escaping,

C             Dm C     Bb  F
Home where my mu-sic's playing,

C             Dm   C    Bb  F
Home where my love lies waiting

G        C
Silently for me.


                      
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,

     Em/B                    Gm6/Bb     A7
I'll play the game and prete-end.     Mmm

    Dm                              Bb
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

     C                                      G7          C
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.


         F
Homeward bound,

          C
 I wish I was,

         F
Homeward bound,

C             Dm        C Bb F
Home where my thought's escaping,

C             Dm C     Bb  F
Home where my mu-sic's playing,

C             Dm   C    Bb  F
Home where my love lies waiting

G        C       Cmaj7/B
Silently for me.

         C7/Bb      C  F  C
Silently for me.
