An electric guitar plays straight 16ths of this D5 chord for basically the whole song. A loop pedal or backing track could be used to do this live.
When I was six years I old I broke my leg
On the recording, it sounds like Ed plays this bass line on his acoustic guitar through an octave pedal. To strum the song solo, these are the chords.
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass that I rolled
down
I was younger then
Take me back to when
I
Found my heart
and broke it here
made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields
In so long
I
know I've grown
But I can't wait
to go home
and
Cymbal swell
I'm on my way!
Driving at ninety down
those
country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
I miss the way you make
me feel
and it's real
when
we watched the sunset
over the castle on the hill
Break
Break
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
And my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon I did it right
We found
weekend jobs
when we got paid, we'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
Oh, how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home
And
Ooh
Over the castle on the hill
Ooh hee
Cymbal swell
One friend left to sell clothes
Quieter than before
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
but
These people raised me and I
I
I
I
I can't wait
And
I'm on my way
[Performed on keyboard]
I still remember these old country lanes
When
we did not know the answers
Me feel
And it's real
