Homeward Bound
Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence (1965)
| G | Bm | E | E7 | |
| I'm | sitting in a railway station, Got a | ticket for my destina | tion. |
| Am | F | |
| On a tour of one night stands, My | suitcase and guitar in hand, |
| G | |
| And | every stop is neatly planned - For a poet and a one man band. |
| G | C | G | C | |
| Homeward | bound, - I wish I | was homeward | bound, |
| G | C | G | C | |
| Home, where my | thoughts are 'scaping, - | Home, where my | music's playing, |
| G | C | Am | Am7 | |
| Home, where my | love lies waiting | silently | for me. |
| Everyday's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines. |
| And each town looks the same to me, The movies and the factories, |
| And every stranger's face I see - Reminds me that I long to be... |
| Homeward bound, - I wish I was homeward bound, |
| Home, where my thoughts are 'scaping, - Home, where my music's playing, |
| Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me. |
| Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend, |
| But all my words come back to me - In shades of mediocrity, |
| Like emptiness in harmony, I need someone to comfort me. |
| Homeward bound, - I wish I was homeward bound, |
| Home, where my thoughts are 'scaping, - Home, where my music's playing, |
| Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me. |
| Silently for me... |
