I'm sitting in the railway station
      A7M                    A7    F#
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm
Bm                               G
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
    A                                  E7               A
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band

[Chorus]

         D            A
Homeward bound,  wish I was
         D
Homeward bound
A             A4
Home where my thought's escaping
A             A4
Home where my music's playing
A             A4
Home where my love lays waiting
E           A
Silently for me

A
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
   A7M                 A7      F#
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm
    Bm                                  G
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
    A                             E7                       A
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

[Chorus]

         D            A
Homeward bound,  wish I was
         D
Homeward bound
A             A4
Home where my thought's escaping
A             A4
Home where my music's playing
A             A4
Home where my love lays waiting
E           A
Silently for me

  A
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
     A7M                   A7     F#
I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm
    Bm                              G
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
     A                      E7                      A
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

[Chorus]

         D            A
Homeward bound,  wish I was
         D
Homeward bound
A             A4
Home where my thought's escaping
A             A4
Home where my music's playing
A             A4
Home where my love lays waiting
E           A
Silently for me

A7M         A7       A
  Silently for me
