Homeward Bound Simon & Garfunkle
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Simon & Garfunkle play this in the key of “ Bb “
Capo 3rd fret (to play along with them but using the G chord )
Verse 1
G
I'm sitting in the railway station.
G/F# G/F E
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmmmmmmm
Am F
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
G D7 G
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band.
Chorus:
C G
Homeward bound, wish I was,
C
Homeward bound,
G C
Home where my thought's escaping
G C
Home where my music's playing,
G C
Home where my love lays waiting
D G
Silently for me.
Verse 2
G
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
G/F# G/F E
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm
Am F
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
G D7 G
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Chorus:
C G
Homeward bound, wish I was,
C
Homeward bound,
G C
Home where my thought's escaping
G C
Home where my music's playing,
G C
Home where my love lays waiting
D G
Silently for me.
Verse 3
G
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
G/F# G/F E
I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm
Am F
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
G D7 G
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Chorus:
C G
Homeward bound, wish I was,
C
Homeward bound,
G C
Home where my thought's escaping
G C
Home where my music's playing,
G C
Home where my love lays waiting
D G
Silently for me.
G G/F# G Gsus4 G/F C G
Silently for me.
