CAPO ON 2nd

      Em           F#m    G          Em7
When Friday comes around he's only into fighting 
    Em               F#m           Asus4    A           Em
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing
 
Chorus:
       D                    G  
It's a long long way from Clare to here 
  Bm               G   A
A long long way to he-ere 
  Bm           G                     A
A Long way, it gets further day by day 
    Asus4           A          Em
Long way from Clare to here
 

     Em              F#m           G                Em7
Oh there's four who share the room as we work hard for the brass
       Em           F#m          Asus4  A     Em
And getting up late on Sundays I never get to Mass
 
-Chorus-
 

     Em              F#m    G              Em7
It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine 
     Em                F#m              Asus4    A       Em
I promised her I'd be coming home with pockets full of green

-Chorus-

        Em          F#m          G             Em7
And the only time I feel alright is when I am into drinking 
   Em            F#m             Asus4  A       Em
It eases off the pain of it and levels out my thinking


-Chorus-

  Em              F#m         G       Em7
I dream I hear a piper play or maybe it's a notion 
  Em                 F#m        Asus4       A     Em
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean

-Chorus-
