N17 lyrics and chords for The Saw doctors

This song is about returning home to Tuam Co. Galway and seeing the unique stone walls that you haven't seen for years .I have included the tin whistle sheet music and letter notes.The Sawdoctors.

Well[G] I didn't see much[C] future[G] when I left the Christian[C] brothers school
So[G] I waved it goo[C]dbye with a wistful smile and[G] left the[C] girls of Tume
And[G] sometimes when[C] im reminiscing I see the [G]prefabs and[C] my old friends
And I[G] know that they'll be[C] changed or gone by the[G] time I get home again
[Chorus]
And[G] I wish I was on that[C] N 1[D]7
[Stone walls and the grass is green]
Yes[G] I wish I was on that[C] N1[D]7
[Stone walls and the grass is green]
[F]Travelling with[C] just my[G] thoughts and dreams
 
Well the ould fella left me at Shannon was the last time I travelled that road
And as I turned left a Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times that I travelled that well worn track
And I know that things will be different if ever I decide to go back
 
Now aws I tumble down highways or filty overcrowed trains
There's no one to talk to in transit so I sit there and daydream away
And behind all these muddled up problems of living on a forign soil
I can still see the twists and turns on the road from the square to the town of the tribes

Here's the chords in the key of D Major

Well[D] I didn't see much[G] future[D] when I left the Christian[G] brothers school
So[D] I waved it goo[G]dbye with a wistful smile and[D] left the[G] girls of Tume
And[D] sometimes when[G] im reminiscing I see the [D]prefabs and[G] my old friends
And I[D] know that they'll be[G] changed or gone by the[D] time I get home again

And[D] I wish I was on that[G] N 1[A]7
Stone walls and the grass is green
Yes[D] I wish I was on that[G] N1[A]7
Stone walls and the grass is green
[C]Travelling with[G] just my[D] thoughts and dreams

Below is the tin whistle sheet music for N 17 by The Saw Doctors. This is the basics of the tune, but some of the other verses use slightly different notes.

 Below are the basic letter notes for the above music. Some people would rather play the letter notes as they find them much quicker and easy to learn. All the lower case letters are the high notes past B. All the capital letters are the lower notes.
