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
[Em] N-seven-
[D]-teen
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes I
[G] wish I was on that
[Em] 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
