-Intro-
[G]Well I didn't see much fu[C]ture
[G]When I left the Christian brothers sch[C]ool
[G]So I waved it goodbye with a wist[C]ful smile
[G]And I left the girls of T[C]uam
[G]And sometimes when I'm remini[C]scing
[G]I see the prefabs and my old frien[C]ds
[G]And I know that they'll be cha[C]nged or gone
[G]By the time I get home ag[C]ain
Chorus:
And I [G]wish I was on that [C]N 17[D]
[D]Stone walls and the grasses green
Yes I [G]wish I was on that [C]N 17[D]
[D]Stone walls and the grasses green
[F]Travelling with j[C]ust my thoughts and d[G]reams
-shortened intro-
[G]Well the old fella left me to Sha[C]nnon
[G]Was the last time I travelled that r[C]oad
[G]and as we turned left at Clareg[C]alway
[G]I could feel a lump in my t[C]hroat
[G]As I pictured the thousands of t[C]imes
[G]That I'd travelled that well worn t[C]rack
[G]And I know that things will be di[C]fferent
[G]If I ever decide to go b[C]ack
-Chorus-
Solo:
[G]Now as I tumble down h[C]ighways
[G]Or filthy overcrowded tr[C]ains
[G]There's no one to talk to in tra[C]nsit
[G]So I sit there and daydream in v[C]ain
[G]And behind all these muddled up pr[C]oblems
[G]Of living on a foreign s[C]oil
[G]I can still see the twists and t[C]urns in the road
[G]From the square to the town of the tr[C]ibes
-Chorus-
