Saw Doctors, N17 (1991)
Key: :[G#] (w: Davey Carton, Leo Moran)
INTRO: [G#] [C#] :
[x4]
VERSE 1:
Well I
[G#] didn't see much
[C#] future
When I
[G#] left the Christian brothers
[C#] school
So I
[G#] waved it goodbye with a
[C#] wistful smile
And I
[G#] left the girls of
[C#] Tuam
VERSE 2:
And some-
[G#]-times when I'm remin-
[C#]-iscing
I see the
[G#] prefabs and my old
[C#] friends
And I
[G#] know that they'll be
[C#] changed or gone
By the
[G#] time I get home a-
[C#]-gain
CHORUS:
And I
[G#] wish I was on that
[Fm] N-seven-
[D#]-teen
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes I
[G#] wish I was on that
[Fm] N-seven-
[D#]-teen
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
[C#] Travelling with
[F#] just my thoughts and
[G#] dreams
BREAK: [G#] [C#] :
[x4]
VERSE 3:
Well the
[G#] ould fella left me to
[C#] Shannon
Was the
[G#] last time I travelled that
[C#] road
and as I
[G#] turned left at Clare
[C#] galway
I could
[G#] feel a lump in my
[C#] throat
VERSE 4:
As I
[G#] pictured the thousands of
[C#] times
That I
[G#] travelled that well worn
[C#] track
And I
[G#] know that things would be
[C#] different
If I
[G#] ever decide to go
[C#] back
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [G#] [C#] :
[x4]
VERSE 5:
Now as I
[G#] tumble down
[C#] highways
Or
[G#] filthy overcrowded
[C#] trains
There's
[G#] no one to talk to in
[C#] transit
So I
[G#] sit there and daydream in
[C#] vain
VERSE 6:
And be-
[G#]-hind all these muddled up
[C#] problems
Of
[G#] living on a foreign
[C#] soil
I can
[G#] still see the twists and
[C#] turns on the road
From the
[G#] square to the town of the
[C#] tribes
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
[C#] Travelling with
[F#] just my thoughts and
[G#] dreams
[G#] [C#] :
