Tom: G

        G                                     D                     Bm  Em
1. I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination,  mm.
     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
          C               G            C
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound,
  G              F
home, where my thought's escaping,
 G              F
home, where my music's playing,
 G              F                 D        G
home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.
    G                               D                       Bm Em
2. Everyday's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines,  mm
         Am                                    F
    and each town looks the same to me , the movies and the factories,
         G  
    and every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be.

      G                                     D                      Bm Em
3. Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend,  mm ,
         Am                                 F
    but all my words come back to me, in shades of mediocrity,
          G        
    like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
                       G      Em        G       Em
+ REFRAIN  + silently for me, silently for me  ... (rep. and fade)
