Well[G] I didn't see much[C] future[G] when I left the Christian[C] brothers school
So[G] I waved it goo[C]dbye with a wistful smile and[G] left the[C] girls of Tume
And[G] sometimes when[C] im reminiscing I see the [G]prefabs and[C] my old friends
And I[G] know that they'll be[C] changed or gone by the[G] time I get home again
[Chorus]
And[G] I wish I was on that[C] N 1[D]7
[Stone walls and the grass is green]
Yes[G] I wish I was on that[C] N1[D]7
[Stone walls and the grass is green]
[F]Travelling with[C] just my[G] thoughts and dreams
Well the ould fella left me at Shannon was the last time I travelled that road
And as I turned left a Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times that I travelled that well worn track
And I know that things will be different if ever I decide to go back
Now aws I tumble down highways or filty overcrowed trains
There's no one to talk to in transit so I sit there and daydream away
And behind all these muddled up problems of living on a forign soil
I can still see the twists and turns on the road from the square to the town of the tribes
[Chorus]
