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