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
[G] [C] : [x4]
