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