HOMEWARD BOUND Simon & Garfunkel                                           # 012 -  3

 

 

      G                                                              D                                       Em

I'm sittin in a railway station        Got a ticket for my destination

 

Am                                                              F

On a tour of one night stands     My suitcase and guitar in hand

 

         G                                                                        D

And every stop is neatly planned          For a poet and a one man band

 

CHORUS

 

G                 C                        G                        C

Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound

G                            F        

Home, where my thoughts escaping

G                           F      

Home, where my music's playing

G                                   F        

Home, where my love lies waiting

D                 G C G C

Silently for me

 

 

G                                                                           D                                     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

And every stranger's face I see              Reminds me that I long to be

 

CHORUS

 

G

Tonight I'll sing my songs again

                    D                     Em

I'll play the game and pretend

       Am

But all my words come back to me

      F

In shades of mediocrity

         G                                            D

Like emptyness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

 

CHORUS

                       

D                  G   

Silently for me
