From Clare To Here

              F              G                  C                 G
Well there's four of us who share the room, we work hard for the brass.
     F                  G         C           G
And getting up late on Sunday. I never get to mass.

[Chorus]
        Dm        G7                 C    Em    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
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.

[Verse]
        F           G                      C            G
When Friday night comes around and Eddy's only in the fighting.
   F                G                  C              G
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing.

[Chorus]
        Dm        G7                 C    Em    Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here.
        Dm        G                 Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here.

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.

[Verse]
        F            G                C             G
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.

[Chorus]
        Dm        G7                 C    Em    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
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.

[Verse]
        F                 G           C        G
Well 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.

[Chorus]
        Dm        G7                 C    Em    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
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.

[Verse]
        F              G       C        G
I dream I hear a piper play, maybe it's emotion.
     F          G            C                 G
I dream I see white horses dance on that other ocean.

[Chorus]
        Dm        G7                 C    Em    Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here.

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.
