    G                                     G/F#                   G/F    Em
I'm sitting in the railway station. Got a ticket to my destination
Am                               F
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
    G                                  D                      G
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band

G        C               G             C           
Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound
G             Am-5  o   F-5  o
Home where my thought's escaping
G             Am-5  o F-5  o
Home where my music's playing
G             Am-5  o   F-5  o  D            G
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me

      G                          G/F#                    G/F    Em 
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines
Am                                      F
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
    G                           D                            G
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

G        C               G             C           
Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound
G             Am-5  o   F-5  o
Home where my thought's escaping
G             Am-5  o F-5  o
Home where my music's playing
G             Am-5  o   F-5  o  D            G
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me

   G                                   G/F#                     G/F     Em
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend
Am                                  F
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
     G                      D                          G
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

G        C               G             C           
Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound
G             Am-5  o   F-5  o
Home where my thought's escaping
G             Am-5  o F-5  o
Home where my music's playing
G             Am-5  o   F-5  o  D            G
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me
G/F#         G/F
Silently for me

CODA:  o   Am5   o    F5    o    C5   o    G
