F
There's four who share this room
G
As we work hard for the craic
Am
And sleeping late on Sundays
G
well, I never get to Mass
G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
F G C Am
It's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
G Am
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around
We're only into fighting
Ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing
Chorus
It almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming home
With my pockets full of green
Chorus
The only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It will sort of ease the pain
And level out my thinking
Chorus
I sometimes hear a piper playing
Maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dancing
Upon that other ocean
Chorus
