[G]Well, I didn't [C]see much future
[G]When I left [C]the Christian Brothers School
[G]So I waved it [C]goodbye with a wistful smile
[G]And I left [C]the girls of Tuam
[G]And sometimes [C]when I'm reminiscing
[G]I see the prefabs [C]and my old friends
[G]And I know that [C]they'll be changed or gone
[G]By the time [C]I get home again
[G]And I wish I [C]was on that N17
[D](Stone walls and [G]the grass is green)
[C]Yes, I wish I [D]was on that N17
[F](Stone walls and [C]the grass is green)
[G]Traveling with just [C]my thoughts and dreams
[G]Well, the old fella [C]left me to Shannon
[G]Was the last time [C]I traveled that road
[G]And as we [C]turned left at Claregalway
[G]I could feel a [C]lump in my throat
[G]As I pictured [C]the thousands of times
[G]That I traveled [C]that well-worn track
[G]And I know that [C]things would be different
[G]If I ever [C]decide to go back
[G]And I wish I [C]was on that N17
[G](Stone walls and [C]the grass is green)
[G]Yes, I wish I [C]was on that N17
[G](Stone walls and [C]the grass is green)
[G]Traveling with just [C]my thoughts and dreams
[G]Now as I [C]tumble down highways
[G]Or filthy [C]overcrowded trains
[G]There's no one to [C]talk to in transit
[G]So I sit there [C]and daydream in vain
[G]And behind all [C]these muddled up problems
[G]Of living on [C]a foreign soil
[G]I can still see the [C]twists and turns on the road
[G]From the square to [C]the town of the tribes
[G]And I wish I [C]was on that N17
[G](Stone walls and [C]the grass is green)
[G]Yes, I wish I [C]was on that N17
[D](Stone walls and [G]the grass is green)
[C]Traveling with just [D]my thoughts and dreams
[F]Oh, just traveling with [C]my thoughts and dreams
[G]♪
[C]Stone walls and [G]the grass is green
[C]Stone walls and [G]the grass is green
[C]Stone walls and [G]the grass is green
[C]Stone walls and the [G]grass is green, yeah
