[Verse 1]
    A*
I'm sitting in the railway station

      C#m/G#                C#dim/G  F#
Got a ticket for my destination,  mm-mmm

Bm                                G
On a tour of one-night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand

    A                                  E                  A
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band
[Chorus]
(A)      D              A
Homeward bound, I wish I was

         D
Homeward bound

A              Bm       A G D/A
Home where my thought's escaping

A             Bm A    G  D/A
Home where my music's playing

A             Bm   A    G  D/A
Home where my love lies waiting

E           A
Silently for me
[Verse 2]
A*
Every day's an endless stream

   C#m/G#               C#dim/G  F#
Of cigarettes and magazines,  mm-mmm

    Bm                                  G
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

    A                             E                        A
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be
[Chorus]
(A)      D              A
Homeward bound, I wish I was

         D
Homeward bound

A              Bm       A G D/A
Home where my thought's escaping

A             Bm A    G  D/A
Home where my music's playing

A             Bm   A    G  D/A
Home where my love lies waiting

E           A
Silently for me
[Verse 3]
  A*
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,

     C#m/G#                C#dim/G  F#
I'll play the game and pretend,  mm-mmm

    Bm                              G
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

     A                      E                        A
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me
[Chorus]
(A)      D               A
Homeward bound, I wish I was

         D
Homeward bound

A              Bm       A G D/A
Home where my thought's escaping

A             Bm A    G  D/A
Home where my music's playing

A             Bm   A    G  D/A
Home where my love lies waiting

E           A
Silently for me
[Outro]
C#m/G#          C#dim/G     A
      Silently for me
