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