Well I didn't see much future
G CWhen I left the Christian brothers school
G CSo I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
G CAnd sometimes when I'm reminiscing
G CI see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they'll be changed or gone
G CBy the time I get home again
Chorus
And I wish I was on that N 17
D(Stone walls and the grasses green)
G C DYes I wish I was on that N 17
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
F C GTravelling with just my thoughts and dreams
G C
Well the ould fella left me to Shannon
G CWas the last time I travelled that road
and as I turned left at Claregalway
G CI could feel a lump in my throat
G CAs I pictured the thousands of times
That I travelled that well worn track
G CAnd I know that things would be different
G CIf I ever decide to go back
Chorus
Now as I tumble down highways
G COr filthy overcrowded trains
G CThere's no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
G CAnd behind all these muddled up problems
G COf living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and turns on the road
G CFrom the square to the town of the tribes
Chorus X2
