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