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
[A#m] N-seven-
[G#]-teen
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
Yes I
[C#] wish I was on that
[A#m] N-seven-
[G#]-teen
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
[F#] Travelling with
[B] 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
[B] just my thoughts and
[C#] dreams
[C#] [F#] :
