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