This is the way Ed played in his BBC performance D (xx0232) D/F# (2x0232) G (3x0033) Bm7 (x2023x) Asus4 (x0223x) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D               D/F#    G                  Bm7  Asus4
  When I was six years old I broke my leg

D             D/F#   G                   Bm7          Asus4
  And I was running from my brother and his friends

D           D/F#  G                    Bm7               Asus4
  And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

D           D/F#  G    Bm7                 Asus4
  I was younger then,   take me back to when I
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G           Asus4                 D
  Found my heart and broke it here

                 G
Made friends and lost them through the years

             Asus4            D                  G
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown

            Asus4
But I can't wait to go home
[Chorus 1]
D      D/F#  G   Bm7        Asus4
I'm on my   way, driving at ninety

     D          D/F#  G     Bm7        Asus4
Down those country   lanes, singing to Tiny Dancer

    D        D/F#  G          Bm7      Asus4
And I miss the    way you made  me feel, it's real

D          D/F#  G     Bm7       Asus4              D
We watched the  sunset over the castle on the hill
[Verse 2]
D          D/F# G               Bm7                   Asus4
  Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes

D           D/F#   G                           Bm7                     Asus4
  Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends

D         D/F#  G                Bm7              Asus4
  Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right, but

D           D/F#  G   Bm7                Asus4
  I was younger then,  take me back to when
[Pre-Chorus 2]
         G        Asus4                 D
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid

                G                      G
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

          Asus4                       D              G
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we've grown

G           Asus4
But I can't wait to go home
[Chorus 2]
D      D/F# G   Bm7         Asus4
I'm on my way, driving at ninety

     D        D/F#  G    Bm7        Asus4
Down those country lanes singing to Tiny Dancer

    D      D/F# G           Bm7      Asus4
And I miss the way you made me feel, it's real

D          D/F# G     Bm7       Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

D          D/F# G     Bm7       Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
[Bridge] Bm7 G D Asus4
Bm7         G                    D                       Asus4
One friend left to sell clothes, one works down by the coast

Bm7         G                   D        Asus4
One had two kids but lives alone, one's brother overdosed

Bm7    G                         D            Asus4
One's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by

Bm7              G              D       Asus4
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
[Chorus 3]
    D      D/F# G   Bm7        Asus4
And I'm on my  way, I still remember

      D       D/F#  G          Bm7        Asus4
These old country lanes when we did not know the answers

    D        D/F#  G          Bm7      Asus4
And I miss the    way you made  me feel, it's real

     D          D/F# G     Bm7       Asus4
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

D          D/F# G     Bm7       Asus4
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

D          D/F# G     Bm7       Asus4             D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
