I'm sitting in the railway station 
      G/F#                  G/F  Em7 
Got a ticket to my destination, hmmmm 
       Am                         F 
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand 
      G                                  D 
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band 
G          C 
Homeward bound 
       G 
I wish I was 
          C 
Homeward bound 
G                F7M        C 
Home, where my thought's escaping 
G               F7M       C 
Home, where my music's playing 
G               F7M       C 
Home, where my love lies waiting 
D             G 
Silently for me 
G 
Ev'ry day's an endless stream 
    G/F#                G/F    Em7 
of cigarettes and magazines, hmmmm 
     Am                                  F 
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories 
      G                            D 
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be, 
G          C 
Homeward bound, 
       G 
I wish I was 
          C 
Homeward bound 
G                F7M        C 
Home, where my thought's escaping 
G               F7M       C 
Home, where my music's playing 
G               F7M       C 
Home, where my love lies waiting 
D             G 
Silently for me 
G 
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, 
G/F#                        G/F   Em7 
I'll play the game and pretend, hmmmm 
    Am                                F 
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity 
     G                       D 
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me 
G          C 
Homeward bound, 
       G 
I wish I was, 
          C 
Homeward bound 
G                F7M        C 
Home, where my thought's escaping 
G               F7M       C 
Home, where my music's playing 
G               F7M       C 
Home, where my love lies waiting 
D             G 
Silently for me 
G/F#    G/F          Em7 
       Silently for me
