G                                 C
Well I didn't see much future
G                                 
When I left the Christian brothers
                    C
 school
G                                 
So I waved it goodbye with a 
             C
wistful smile
G                                 C
And I left the girls of Tuam
G                                 
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
          C

G                                 C
I see the prefabs and my old friends
G                                 
And I know that they'll be changed
         C
 or gone
G                                 C
By the time I get home again

Chorus:
G                                 
And I wish I was on that N 17

Yes I wish I was on that N 17

(Stone walls and the grasses green)
F                         C      
Travelling with just my thoughts 
                         G
and dreams

G                            
Well the ould fella left me to 
                C
Shannon
G                                 
Was the last time I travelled that
          C
 road
G                       C
and as I turned left at Claregalway
G                                 
I could feel a lump in my throat
     C

G                                 
As I pictured the thousands of 
              C
times
G                             
That I travelled that well worn 
                   C
track
G                             
And I know that things would be 
                       C
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                                 
There's no one to talk to in 
          C
transit
G                                 
So I sit there and daydream in 
              C
vain
G                             
And behind all these muddled up 
                  C
problems
G                                 C
Of living on a foreign soil
G                                 
I can still see the twists and 
          C
turns on the road
G
