Paul Simon - Homeward Bound

   |              | 
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.
