G                                 C
Well I didn't see much future
G                                                     C
When I left the Christian brothers school
G                                 	       C
So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
G                                 C
And I left the girls of Tuam
G                                 	    C
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
G                                 C
I see the prefabs and my old friends
G                                          C
And I know that they'll be changed or gone
G                                 C
By the time I get home again

Chorus:
G                                     C  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
D
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
G                                     C  D
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
D
(Stone walls and the grasses green)
F                         C                               G
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams

G                                	     C
Well the ould fella left me to Shannon
G                                           C
Was the last time I travelled that road
G			C
and as I turned left at Claregalway
G                                      C
I could feel a lump in my throat
G                                               C
As I pictured the thousands of times
G                                                C
That I travelled that well worn track
G                                                    C
And I know that things would be different
G                                 C
If I ever decide to go back

Chorus:

G                                 C
Now as I tumble down highways
G                                 C
Or filthy overcrowded trains
G                                 	    C
There's no one to talk to in transit
G                                 	        C
So I sit there and daydream in vain
G                                 		C
And behind all these muddled up problems
G                                 C
Of living on a foreign soil
G                                           C
I can still see the twists and turns on the road
G                                 	    C
>From the square to the town of the tribes
