Among The Wicklow Hills Guitar Chords And Lyrics

Written by Pierce Turner and recorded by Christy Moore. When Christy recorded this song he changed some of the lyrics. The words of the song on this page are the original one's as sent to me by the songwriter, Pierce Turner.

​Spring still paints fire escapes
With Hopper Shades
Radios rap and screech like trains
A figure's floating through the sewing set
Some guy walks by
Suspended by the sky.

Takes more imagination
When everything's remote control
For me it's just a case of
What's on the other side of clothes.

Tell everybody I'm going away for ten years
I'm gone to wander
Among the Wicklow Hills.

New Jersey white kid
In his Sunday jeans
Stuck to the corner of the street
Fat gypsy lady smaks the window pane
A farm dog gets out on the highway.

Takes more imagination
When everything's remote control
For me it's just a case of
What's on the other side of clothes.
