Ralph McTell, Clare To Here (1976)
Key: :[F#] (w: Ralph McTell)
INTRO: [F#] [G#] [A#m] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
Well there's
[F#] four who share the room
and we
[G#] work hard for the brass
And
[F#] sleeping late on Sunday's
I
[G#] never get to mass
CHORUS:
It's a
[F#] long, long
[G#] way
from Clare to
[C#] here
[C#/C] [A#m]
It's a
[F#] long, long
[G#] way
from Clare to
[A#m] here
[F#] It's a long, long way
it gets
[G#] further day by
[A#m] day
[A#m/G#]
It's a
[F#] long, long
[G#] way
from Clare to
[A#m] here
VERSE 2:
When
[F#] Friday comes around
Terry's
[G#] only in the fighting
My
[F#] mom would like a letter home
And I'm
[G#] too tired for writing
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
It
[F#] almost breaks my heart
When I
[G#] think of Josephine
I
[F#] told her I'd be coming back
With my
[G#] pockets full of green
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
The
[F#] only time I feel alright
Is
[G#] when I'm into drinking
It
[F#] eases all the pain off it
And
[G#] levels out my thinking
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 5:
I
[F#] sometimes hear a piper play
Or
[G#] Maybe it's emotion
I
[F#] dream I see white horses dance
Up-
[G#]-on that other ocean
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
