I'm sitting in the railway station. 
      Amaj7                  A7    F# 
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm 
Bm                               G 
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. 
    A                                  E7sus4           A 
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band.
[Estribillo]
         D             A 
Homeward bound, I wish I was, 
         D 
Homeward bound, 
A             Asus4 
Home where my thought's escaping 
A             Asus4 
Home where my music's playing, 
A             Asus4 
Home where my love lays waiting 
E           A 
Silently for me.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream 
   Amaj7               A7      F# 
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm 
    Bm                                  G 
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories 
    A                             E7sus4                   A 
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
[Estribillo]
         D             A 
Homeward bound, I wish I was, 
         D 
Homeward bound, 
A             Asus4 
Home where my thought's escaping 
A             Asus4 
Home where my music's playing, 
A             Asus4 
Home where my love lies waiting 
E           A 
Silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, 
     Amaj7                 A7     F# 
I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm 
    Bm                              G 
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity 
     A                      E7sus4                  A 
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
[Estribillo]
         D             A 
Homeward bound, I wish I was, 
         D 
Homeward bound, 
A             Asus4 
Home where my thought's escaping 
A             Asus4 
Home where my music's playing, 
A             Asus4 
Home where my love lies waiting 
E           A 
Silently for me.
[Outro]
Amaj7       A7       A 
  Silently for me.
