Missing Galway (Don Stiffe) - performed by Don Stiffe chords
Start Jamming...
[G#m] [F#]
[E] [C#]
[F#] It's hard to settle down at first when you go [G#] away from home
[C#m] And the people that you left [B] behind your heart is [F#] surely torn
I remember people saying to me, you should try it [G#m] while you're young
[C#] If you don't like it over [B] there back home you can [F#] always come
And all that I brought with me was a bag of my [D#] guitar
Just wanted to do the same as [B] home just playing [F#] all the bars
Well it wasn't like the Lusheen [G#] or the pubs up in Crombois
[C#] But the people here in Boston [F#] like to make you feel as if it were
[B] People [G#] say in [D#m] time you get a job and you settle down
[E] But there's always something in my mind saying this is [C#] not my town
[B] Each morning when I wake up [F#] and I start [D#m] a brand new day
[G#] I look [B] forward to going [C#] back to Broadway
[F#] People say that Boston is this one big [G#] Irish town
Meet them [C#] there from Galway, Clark, from Ede and [F#] Carroll town
Well it's great to meet your friends out [G#] there but sometimes it's so sad
[C#] To think they had to leave their [B] homes because the work back [F#] there was bad
And June brings all of us together at a place they [D#m] call [C#] Stonehenge
Where we let loose at the weekend [B] for the Irish [F#] Festival
Paddy Riley, Johnny [B] McAvoy, the Clancy's [G#m] and Sharon Shannon
[C#] They'd have had so far as all [B] we drink in it [F#] by the gallon
[D#m]
[F#] [D#m] [E]
[G#] [C#] [B]
[F#] [D#m] [F#]
[B] [C#] [F#] Leave it to the sucker, there's [G#m] Stonehead over there
[C#] And when Ireland plays the match we [B] all go crazy [F#] on the beer
Out the big screen in the Black Horn, [B] that's my local [G#m] bar out there
[C#] Big Jack and the lads in [B] green, they all go [F#] drinking there
People [G#m] say in time [F#] you get a job and [D#m] you settle down
[E] But there's always something in my [B] mind saying this is [C#] not my town
[B] Each morning when I wake [F#] up and I start [D#m] a brand new day
[B] I look forward to going [C#] back to Broadway
I look forward to going [F#] back to Broadway
