Verse: Bb I'm sitting in the railway station. Bbmaj7 Bb7 G Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm Cm Ab On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. Bb F7 Bb And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band. Chorus: Eb Bb Homeward bound, wish I was, Eb Homeward bound, Bb Bbsus4 Home where my thought's escaping Bb Bbsus4 Home where my music's playing, Bb Bbsus4 Home where my love lays waiting F Bb Silently for me. Verse: Bb Ev'ry day's an endless stream Bbmaj7 Bb7 G Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm Cm Ab And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories Bb F7 Bb And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be, Chorus: Eb Bb Homeward bound, wish I was, Eb Homeward bound, Bb Bbsus4 Home where my thought's escaping Bb Bbsus4 Home where my music's playing, Bb Bbsus4 Home where my love lays waiting F Bb Silently for me. Verse: Bb Tonight I'll sing my songs again, Bbmaj7 Bb7 G I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm Cm Ab But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity Bb F7 Bb Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me. Chorus: Eb Bb Homeward bound, wish I was, Eb Homeward bound, Bb Bbsus4 Home where my thought's escaping Bb Bbsus4 Home where my music's playing, Bb Bbsus4 Home where my love lays waiting F Bb Silently for me.

The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 92 bpm, a medium pace. This arrangement is in Bb major; the original recording is in G major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Play an even down-up strum through the verses and stay relaxed.
