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