[Intro]
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                         C
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                  Em  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
 
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                    G
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams

[Verse 2]
 
G                                 C
Well, the old fella left me to Shannon
G                                   C
Was the last time I travelled that 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                                  C
That I'd travelled that well worn track
G                                C
And I know that things will be different
G                       C
If I ever decide to go back
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      G                  Em  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
 
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                    G
Travelling with just my thoughts 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                                 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 in the road
G                                    C
From the square to the town of the tribes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      G                  Em  D
And I wish I was on that N 17
 
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                    G
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
