FGCG
Oh there's four who share this room as we work hard for the brass
FGCG
And getting up late on Sundays I never get to Mass
Chorus:
DmG7CC/BAm
It's a long long way from Clare to here
DmEmAm
It's a long long way from Clare to here
FGCAm
Oh It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
DmGAm
It's a long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around he'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 promised 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 eases off the pain of it and levels out my thinking
Chorus:
I dream I hear a piper playing or maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
Chorus:
It's a long, long way from Clare to here....
