    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Verse

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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Pre-Chorus

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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2

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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Pre-Chorus

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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

    D         D/F#    G     Bm        A7sus4
    I’m on my      way, driving at ninety
                  D        D/F# G           Bm         A7sus4
    Down those country  lanes singing to Tiny Dancer
           D         D/F#  G                 Bm A7sus4
    And I miss the    way you make me           feel and it’s real
                D                D/F# G          Bm        A7sus4                 
    When we watched the    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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Bridge

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

    Castle On The Hill Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

            D       D/F# G     Bm        A7sus4
    And I’m on my way,     I still remember
                  D        D/F# G             Bm             A7sus4
    These old country lanes when we did not know the answers
           D         D/F#  G                 Bm A7sus4
    And I miss the    way you make me           feel and it’s real
                D                D/F# G          Bm        A7sus4                 
    When we watched the    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
