[Verse 1]
           F                   G           C                 G
Oh there's four who share this room and we work hard for the craic
    F                G         C            G
And sleeping late on Sundays I never get to Mass
 
[Chorus]
       Dm        G7               C C/B Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
       Dm        Em       Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
F                 G        C                   Am
It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
       Dm     G               Am
It's a long way from Clare to here
 
[Verse 2]
When Friday comes around Terry's only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing
 
[Chorus]
       Dm        G7               C C/B Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
       Dm        Em       Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
F                 G        C                   Am
It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
       Dm     G               Am
It's a long way from Clare to here
 
[Verse 3]
It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming home with my pockets full of green
 
[Chorus]
       Dm        G7               C C/B Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
       Dm        Em       Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
F                 G        C                   Am
It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
       Dm     G               Am
It's a long way from Clare to here
 
[Verse 4]
The only time I feel alright is when I'm into drinking
It sort of ease the pain of it and levels out my thinking
 
[Chorus]
           Dm        G7               C C/B Am
Oh, it's a long long way from Clare to here
       Dm        Em       Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
F                 G        C                   Am
It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
       Dm     G               Am
It's a long way from Clare to here
 
[Verse 5]
I sometimes hear a fiddle play or maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
 
[Chorus]
       Dm        G7               C C/B Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
       Dm        Em       Am
It's a long long way from Clare to here
F                 G        C                   Am
It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day
       Dm     G               Am
It's a long way from Clare to here
 
       Dm     G        Am
It's a long way from Clare to here
