I'm sitting in the railway station, 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.

Homeward bound, I wish I was, homeward bound...

| C             Dm        C  Bb  F
  Home where my thought's es-cap-ing,

| C             Dm C     Bb   F
  Home where my mu-sic's play-ing,

| C             Dm   C    Bb   F
  Home where my love lies wait-ing,

| G        C     |
  Silently for me.

  Ev'ry day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines.  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___

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend. 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___.
