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