From Clare to Here
guitar chords lyrics
Verse 1:
F
There's four who share this room
C G
We were caught up in the craic
F
Sleeping late on Sundays
C G
And we never get to Mass
Chorus:
F G C
It's a long way from Clare to here
F G Am G
It's a long way from Clare to here
F G Am G F
It's a long, long way, it gets further by the day
G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
V2:
When Friday comes around
We're only into fighting
Ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing
Chorus
V3:
It almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming home
With my pockets full of green
Chorus
Bridge:
F G
The only time I feel alright
C G C
Is when I'm into drinking
F G
It can sort of ease the pain of it
C G Am
And it levels out my thinking
Chorus
V4:
I sometimes hear a piper playing
Maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dancing
Upon that other ocean
Chorus
F G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
F G Am
