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