Castle on the Hill

When I was six (D)years (G)old I broke my leg,

(Bm7)and I was (D)running (G)from my brother and (Bm7)his friends,

(D5)and (D)tasted the (G)sweet perfume of the (Bm7)mountain grass I rolled down.

I was (D)younger (G)then.

Take me back to (Asus)when

I (Gmaj9)found (Bm7)my heart (A)and broke it here,

(D)made friends and lost (G6)them through drink the years.

(Gmaj9)And (Bm7)I've not seen (A)the roaring fields (D)in so long.

I (G6/9)know I've grown,

but I can't wait (D)to go home.

I'm on my (G)way,

(Bm7)driving at (A)ninety down those (D)country (G)lanes,

(Bm7)singing to (A)"Tiny Dancer," and (D)I miss the way

you (Bm7)make me (A)feel,

and it's real, when (D)we watched the (G)sun set (Bm7)over the (A7)castle on (A)the hill.

(D5)Fifteen (D)years (G)old and smoking (Bm7)handrolled cigarettes,

running from (D)the law

through the back fields and getting drunk with (Asus)my friends.

(D5)Had my (D)first (G)kiss on Friday (Bm7)night;

I don't (Asus)reckon that I did it (D5)right,

but I was (D)younger (G)then.

Take me back to (Asus)when we found tle on (A)the hill,

(D)heehoo, (Bm7)over the (A)castle on the hill,

(D)heehoo, (Bm7)over the (A7)castle on (A)the (Bm7)hill.

(Bm7)One friend left (D)to sew clothes,

and one works down (Asus)by the (Bm7)coast;

one had two kids (G)but lives alone;

(D)one's (Asus)brother overdosed;

(Bm)one's (A)already on his second wife;

(D)one's just (A)barely getting by.

But (Bm)these people raised (A)me and I,

(D)ooh, can't wait (A7)to go home.

And (D)I'm on (A6)my (Gmaj7)way.

(Bm7)I still remember these old (D)(Dmaj7)country (Gmaj7)lanes

when (Bm7)we did not (A7sus)know the answers.

And (D)I miss the way you make

(Bm7)me feel, (A)and it's real when (D)we watched the (G)sun set (Bm7)over the (A7)castle on (A)the (D)hill,

heehoo, (Bm7)over the (A)castle on the (D)hill,

heehoo, (Bm7)over the (A7)castle on (A)the (D5)hill.
