HOMEWARD BOUND
Paul Simon
I'm [G]sitting in a railway station,
Got a [Bm] ticket for my [F] destination. [E][E7]
[Am] On a tour of one night stands,
My [F] suitcase and guitar in hand,
And [G] every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band.
[G] Homeward [C] bound,
I wish I was [G] homeward [C] bound,
[G] Home, where my [C] thoughts are 'scaping,
[G] Home, where my [C] music's playing,
[G] Home, where my [Am] love lies waiting
[Am7] Silently for [D] me.
[G] Everyday's an endless stream
Of [Bm] cigarettes and [F] magazines. [E][E7]
And [Am] each town looks the same to me,
The [F] movies and the factories,
And [G] every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be...
[G] Homeward [C] bound,
I wish I was [G] homeward [C] bound,
[G] Home, where my [C] thoughts are 'scaping,
[G] Home, where my [C] music's playing,
[G] Home, where my [Am] love lies waiting
[Am7] Silently for [D] me.
[G] Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll [Bm] play the game [F] and pretend, [E][E7]
But [Am] all my words come back to me
In [F] shades of mediocrity,
Like [G] emptiness in harmony,
I need someone to comfort me.
[G] Homeward [C] bound,
I wish I was [G] homeward [C] bound,
[G] Home, where my [C] thoughts are 'scaping,
[G] Home, where my [C] music's playing,
[G] Home, where my [Am] love lies waiting
[Am7] Silently for [D] me.
