Chords for Paul Simon - Homeward Bound - Live on Skavlan | SVT/NRK/Skavlan

[Am] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[N] I really want you to do a song, if that's okay.
You want to do a song?
No!
_ And you don't want me to do a song either. _
But I would really like you to do a song.
Okay, I'm happy to.
And we_
_ _ _ We're going to have some hell to set it up.
But you're going to do Homeward Bound.
Yeah, I thought I'd sing an old song.
And that's a great choice, I think. _
_ _ What is your memories with that song?
Well, I wrote that song when I was in the north of England. _ _ _ _
And it was my first time that I'd gone up to Liverpool
and the area around there.
I started to write that song in a railway station
that was near Liverpool.
_ I think it was a town called Warrington.
And I was writing about_ _ _ _
about my girlfriend in _ London.
_ _ _ _ That's really what it was.
Please, have your guitar and you can do it. _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
I'm sitting in the railway [A] station
Got a ticket for my destination
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ On _ [Cm] _
a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase [Ab] and guitar in hand
[Bb] And every stop is neatly planned
For [F] a poet and a [Bb] one-man band _
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] [Eb] Homeward bound
I wish I [Bb] _ was _ _ [Eb] Homeward bound
_ _ _ [Bb] Home where my [Ab] thoughts are [Bb] skipping
_ [Cm] Home where my music's [Bb] playing
Home [Cm] where my love lies
[F] _ Waiting [Bb] silently for me _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Every day's an endless [A] stream
Of cigarettes and [Ab] _ _
magazines
_ _ [G] And _ _
[Cm] each town looks the same to [Ab] me
The movies and the factories
[Bb] And every stranger's face I see
[F] Reminds me that I long to [Bb] be Homeward bound
_ _ _ [Eb] _
And _ [Bb] I wish I _ was _ [Eb] Homeward _ bound
_ [Bb] _
Home where my [Eb] thoughts are [Bb] skipping
[Cm] Home where my music's [Bb] playing
Home [Cm] where my love [Gm]
[F] lies
Waiting silently [Bb] for me _
[F] Tonight _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll sing my songs again
_ [Dm] [A] I'll play the game and pretend
[Ab] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ But _ _ [Cm] all my words come back to [Gm] me
[Ab] In shades of mediocrity
_ [Bb] Like emptiness in harmony
[F] I need someone to comfort [Bb] _ _ me _ [Eb] Homeward bound
I [Bb] wish I was _ [Eb] Homeward bound
_ _ _ _ [Bb]
Home [Fm] where my thoughts [Cm] are [Bb] skipping
Home [Cm] where my [Ab] [Gm] music's [Bb] playing
Home [Cm] where my love [F] lies
Waiting silently [Bb] for me _ _ _
[F] Silently _ [Dm] _ _ [Fm] for me
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] Thank [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you.
_ _ Thank you so much, Paul Simon.
_ _ I thank you all of you for being with us here tonight.
