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
[Gm] N-seven-
[F]-teen
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes I
[A#] wish I was on that
[Gm] N-seven-
[F]-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
