Ed Sheeran - Castle On The Hill

[intro]
D

[verse 1]
D                D/F#
  When I was six years
G                  Bm   A
old I broke my leg
D               D/F#
  And I was running
G                    Bm         A
from my brother and his friends
D            D/F#  G
  And tasted the sweet perfume of the
 Bm                 A
mountain grass as I rolled down
D           D/F#  G
  I was younger  then,
Bm                 A
  take me back to when I

[pre-chorus 1]
G           A                  D
  Found my heart and broke it here
                  G
Made friends and lost them through the years
G               A
  And I've not seen the roaring
 D                  G
fields in so long, I know I've grown
G              A
  But I can't wait to go home

[chorus 1]
D      D/F# G    Bm         A7sus4
I'm on my   way, driving at ninety
     D         D/F# G
Down those country  lanes
Bm         A7sus4
singing to Tiny Dancer
    D      D/F#
And I miss the
  G         Bm       A7sus4
way you make  me feel      and it's real
     D          D/F#
When we watched the
G      Bm        A7sus4             D
sunset over the castle on the hill

[verse 2]
D         D/F#  G
  Fifteen years old and smoking
Bm                     A
hand-rolled cigarettes
D              D/F#   G
  Running from the law
through the backfields and
Bm                      A
  getting drunk with my friends
D        D/F#   G                Bm
  Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
         A
I don't reckon I did it
  D              D/F# G
Right, I was younger  then,
Bm                 A
  take me back to when we found

[pre-chorus 2]
G          A                    D
  Weekend jobs and when we got paid
We'd buy cheap
 G                      G
spirits and drink them straight
           A
Me and my friends have not thrown
 D              G
up in so long, oh how we've grown
G            A
 But I can't wait to go home

[chorus 2]
D      D/F# G    Bm         A7sus4
I'm on my   way, driving at ninety
     D         D/F# G
Down those country  lanes
Bm         A7sus4
singing to Tiny Dancer
    D      D/F#
And I miss the
 G          Bm       A7sus4
way you make  me feel      and it's real
D          D/F#
We watched the
G      Bm        A7sus4
sunset over the castle on the hill
D  D/F# G   Bm        A7sus4
            Over the castle on the hill
D  D/F# G   Bm        A7sus4
            Over the castle on the hill

[bridge]
Bm  G  D  A7sus4

[pre-chorus]
Bm             G
   One friend left to sell clothes,
D           A7sus4
 one works down by the coast
Bm              G
   One had two kids but lives alone,
D       A7sus4
 one's brother overdosed
Bm         G
   One's already on his second wife,
D            A7sus4
 one's just barely getting by but
Bm               G
   These people raised me and I-I-I,
D       A7sus4
 can't wait to go home

[chorus 3]
    D      D/F# G    Bm        A7sus4
And I'm on my   way, I still remember
      D       D/F# G
These old country  lanes when
Bm         A7sus4
we did not know the answers
    D      D/F#
And I miss the
 G          Bm       A7sus4
way you make  me feel      and it's real
D          D/F# G
We watched the sunset
Bm        A7sus4
over the castle on the hill
D  D/F# G   Bm        A7sus4
            Over the castle on the hill
D  D/F# G   Bm        A7sus4           D
            Over the castle on the hill
