GWell I didn't see much futureC  
GWhen I left the Christian brothers schoolC  
GSo I waved it goodbye with a wistful smileC  
GAnd I left the girls of TuamC  
GAnd sometimes when I'm reminiscingC  
GI see the prefabs and my old frienCds
GAnd I know that they'll be changed or goneC  
GBy the time I get home againC  
Chorus:
GAnd I wish I was on that N 17C  D  
D(Stone walls and the grasses green)
GYes I wish I was on that N 17C  D  
D(Stone walls and the grasses green)
FTravelling with just my thCoughts and dreamsG  
GWell the ould fella left me to ShannonC  
GWas the last time I travelled that roadC  
Gand Cas I turned left at Claregalway
GI could feel a lump in my throatC  
GAs I pictured the thousands of timesC  
GThat I travelled that well worn trackC  
GAnd I know that things would be differentC  
GIf I ever decide to go backC  
Chorus:
GNow as I tumble down highwaysC  
GOr filthy overcrowded trainsC  
GThere's no one to talk to in transitC  
GSo I sit there and daydream in vainC  
GAnd behind all these muddled up probClems
GOf living on a foreign soilC  
GI can still see the twists and turns on the Croad
G>From the square to the town of the triCbes

Well I didn't see much future

G C

When I left the Christian brothers school

G C

So I waved it goodbye with a wistful 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 C D

And I wish I was on that N 17

Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams

G C

Well the ould fella left me to Shannon

G C

Was the last time I travelled that road

G C

and as I turned left at Claregalway

G C

I could feel a lump in my throat

G C

As I pictured the thousands of times

G C

That I travelled that well worn track

G C

And I know that things would be 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 C

There's no one to talk to in transit

G C

So I sit there and daydream in vain

G C

And behind all these muddled up problems

G C

Of living on a foreign soil

G C

I can still see the twists and turns on the road

G C
