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