[Intro]


[Verse 1]

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 wistful
C
 smile
G                        C
And I left the girls of Tuam
G                            C
And sometimes when I'm reminiscing
G                                 C
I see the prefabs and my old friends
G                             C
And I know that they'll be changed 
or gone
G                        C
By the time I get home again


[Chorus]

      G                  Em  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
      G                  Em  D
Yes I wish I was on that N 17

Stone walls and the grasses green
C                F               
Travelling with just my thoughts

and dreams

(shortened intro)


[Verse 2]

G                           
Well the old fella left me to 
     C
Shannon
G                                 
Was the last time I travelled that
  C
 road
G                              C
and as we turned left at Claregalway
G                          C
I could feel a lump in my throat
G                               C
As I pictured the thousands of times
G                               
That I'd travelled that well worn 
   C
track
G                            
And I know that things will be 
    C
different
G                       C
If I ever decide to go back


[Chorus]

      G                  Em  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
      G                  Em  D
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
C                F               
Travelling with just my thoughts 
     G
and dreams

[Verse 3]

G                     C
Now as I tumble down highways
G                       C
Or filthy overcrowded trains
G                               C
There's no one to talk to in transit
G                               C
So I sit there and daydream in vain
G                             
And behind all these muddled up 
    C
problems
G                       C
Of living on a foreign soil
G                               C
I can still see the twists and turns
 in the road
G                                 
From the square to the town of the
   C
 tribes


[Chorus]

      G                  Em  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
      G                  Em  D
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
C                F               
Travelling with just my thoughts 
     G
and dreams
