Ralph McTell, Clare To Here (1976)
^{Key: :[D#] (w: Ralph McTell)}

INTRO: [D#] [F] [Gm] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
Well there's [D#] four who share the room
and we [F] work hard for the brass
And [D#] sleeping late on Sunday's
I [F] never get to mass

CHORUS:
It's a [D#] long, long [F] way
from Clare to [A#] here [A#/A] [Gm]
It's a [D#] long, long [F] way
from Clare to [Gm] here
[D#] It's a long, long way
it gets [F] further day by [Gm] day [Gm/F]
It's a [D#] long, long [F] way
from Clare to [Gm] here

VERSE 2:
When [D#] Friday comes around
Terry's [F] only in the fighting
My [D#] mom would like a letter home
And I'm [F] too tired for writing

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
It [D#] almost breaks my heart
When I [F] think of Josephine
I [D#] told her I'd be coming back
With my [F] pockets full of green

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
The [D#] only time I feel alright
Is [F] when I'm into drinking
It [D#] eases all the pain off it
And [F] levels out my thinking

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 5:
I [D#] sometimes hear a piper play
Or [F] Maybe it's emotion
I [D#] dream I see white horses dance
Up-[F]-on that other ocean

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
