From Clare to here
1. There's four who
share the room, and we work hard for the crack,
F G C G
but getting up late on Sunday, I never get to mass.
Dm G Am
oh, it's a long, long way from Clare to here.
F G C Am
Oh, it's a long, long way,
it gets further day by day,
Dm
G7 Am
it's a long, long way from Clare to here.
2. When Friday night comes around and I'm only
into fighting,
F G C G
my ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for
writing.
F G C G
3. And the only time I feel alright is when I'm
into drinking,
F G C G
it eases off the pain a bit and levels out my thinking.
4. And it almost breaks my heart when I think of
Josephine,
F G C G
I promised I'd be coming back with pockets
full of green.
5. I dream I hear a piper play or maybe it's emotion,
F G C G
I
dream I see white horses dance on that other ocean.
