Homeward Bound

I'm sitting in the railway station.
 2  2  3  3   3  3  -3 3  2  2
Got a ticket for my destination.

Mm----
-2 -2  -2  -2  3   -2     -2    
On a- tour of one-night stands 
2   -2  -2  -2  -2  3  -2  -2
my suitcase and guitar in hand.
 3  3  3   3   3  -3 3     3
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned 
 3  3 3 4   4 -5 -5   6  6 -5 4 
for a poet and a one-man band--.
 4  -4 4  -3 
Homeward bound,
3  -3  3 2 -1 1 
I wish I was---,
 4  -4 4   -3
Homeward bound,
 6     6   6    -6      6  -5  5      
Home where my thought's escaping,
 6     6   6  -6  6    -5  5   
Home where my music's playing,
 6     6   6   -6   6    -5  5
Home where my love lies waiting
-5 6 -5   4  3
Silently for me.

 3  3   3   3   -3  3    3   
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
2    3  3  3   3  -3  3  2  
Of cigarettes and magazines.

Mm----
-2   -2   -2   -2   -2   3   -2 -2
And each town looks the same to me, 
 2  -2 -2  -2  -2   3 -2 -2
the movies and the factories
 3  3  3    3   3     -3  3  3
And ev'ry stranger's face I see 
 3  3   4   4  -5  -5  6  6 -5 4
reminds me that I long to be----,
 4  -4 4  -3 
Homeward bound,
3  -3  3 2 -1 1 
I wish I was---,
 4  -4 4   -3
Homeward bound,
 6     6   6    -6      6  -5  5      
Home where my thought's escaping,
 6     6   6  -6  6    -5  5   
Home where my music's playing,
 6     6   6   -6   6    -5  5
Home where my love lies waiting
-5 6 -5   4  3
Silently for me.

 3  3    3    3   3   -3    3 3  
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
 2    3    3   3   -3   3  2
I'll play the game and pretend.
2 -1 2
Mm----
-2  -2  -2  -2    -2   3   -2 -2
But all my words come back to me 
2    -2   -2 -2 -2 3 -2 -2
in shades of mediocrity---
 3    3  3  3  3  -3 3 3
Like emptiness in harmony 
3  3    4  4   -5  -5  6  6 -5 4
I need someone to comfort me----.
 4  -4 4  -3 
Homeward bound,
3  -3  3 2 -1 1 
I wish I was---,
 4  -4 4   -3
Homeward bound,
 6     6   6    -6      6  -5  5      
Home where my thought's escaping,
 6     6   6  -6  6    -5  5   
Home where my music's playing,
 6     6   6   -6   6    -5  5
Home where my love lies waiting
-5 6 -5   4  3
Silently for me
-5 6 -5   4  3
Silently for me
