From Clare to Here - Ralph McTell
F G C G
There's four who share this room as we work hard for the crack
F G C G
And sleeping late on Sundays I never get to Mass
Dm G C Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Dm G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
F G C Am
It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
Dm G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
F G C G
When Friday comes around Terry's only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing
[Chorus]
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]
And the only time I feel alright is when I'm into drinking
It sort of eases the pain of it and levels out my thinking
[Chorus]
It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming back with pockets full of green
[Chorus]
I sometimes hear a fiddle play or maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
[Chorus]x2
