(C)When you feel like (G)laying (Em)low
And the (Am)mountains seem no (Em)closer than be(F)fore
And you wonder (G)why
You (C)know in your mind it does (G)no good to (Em)hide
And the (Am)only way is (Em)living to sur(F)vive
It makes you feel a(G)live
(C)See all the (G)doors swing open
Your (Am)lifes unfolding be(G)fore your very (F)eyes
Such a strange a(G)ffair
(C)Walk in a(G)round come into the (Am)sound
Forget your (G)down feel the (F)air
Beautiful a(G)ffair
There (C)comes a time when you (G)look a(Em)round
And you (Am)see the ocean (Em)rise before your (F)eyes
Showing no surp(G)rise
So you (C)make you way down (G)to the (Em)shore
And you (Am)climb aboard and (Em)give your self a (F)smile
It makes you feel a(G)live
(C)Then all the (G)doors swing open
Your (Am)lifes unfolding be(G)fore your very (F)eyes
Such a strange a(G)ffair
(C)Walk in a(G)round come into the (Am)sound
Forget your (G)down feel the (F)air
Beautiful a(G)ffair
(C)See all the (G)doors swing open
Your (Am)lifes unfolding be(G)fore your very (F)eyes
Such a strange a(G)ffair
(C)Walk in a(G)round come into the (Am)sound
Forget your (G)down feel the (F)air
Beautifful a(G)ffair
The guitar chords can also be used for playing on the mandolin.
Stockton's Wing are now one of Ireland's longest running traditional folk groups. They formed in 1977 in the County of Clare on the west coast of Ireland. Two of the original members were Tony Callinan who was the singer and guitar player and Paul Roche who played the flute and tin whistles, Maurice Lennon played the fiddle and also sang, Tommy Hayes plays the bodhran and Kieran Hanrahan on four string banjo. The group released their first album in 1978 ''Stockton's Wing'' which consisted of very fast instrumental trad tunes and a few ballads thrown in.
Just before their second album ''Take A Chance'' in 1980 Mike Hannaran replaced Tony Callinan as the lead singer. Steve Cooney joined the band in 1982 playing bass. Their big hit single Beautiful Affair was written by Mike Hanrahan. Tommy Hayes left the group in '83 at which time the band were singing more contempory songs, soon after the group got a drummer , Fran Breen and a keyboard player named Peter Keenan. Between the years of 1984 and '88 the group put out 4 albums and several singles and toured the world. They continue to preform today.
