NANCI GRIFFITH - "from clare to here" Tablature

Official NANCI GRIFFITH Tablature & Sheet Music »

These chords work, more or less, but I don't think they're exactly right,
if anybody out there has a more precise rendering of the song could you
maybe share your version?

BTW, the song was written by a guy by the name of McTell, I think, I don't
have the album credits handy and I can't remember the name for sure, but
it's not a Nanci Griffith original.





C
Four who shared this room and
G D
We were caught up in the crack
C
Sleeping late on Sundays
G D
And we never got to Mass

C D G
Chorus: It's a long way from Clare to here
C D Emin D
It's a long way from Clare to here
C D
It's a long, long way
Emin D C
Gets further by the day
D Emin D
It's a long, long way from Clare to here

C
When Friday comes around
G D
We're only into fighting
C
My Ma would like a letter home, but
G D
I'm too tired for writing


Chorus

C
It almost breaks my heart
G D
When I think of my family
C
I told them I'd be coming home with my
G D
Pockets full of green


Chorus

C D
The only time I feel alright
G C G
Is when I'm into drinking
C
It can sort of ease the pain of it and it
G D Emin D
Levels out my thinking


Chorus

C
I sometimes hear the fiddles play
G D
Maybe it's just a notion
C
I dream I see white horses dance upon
G D
That other ocean


Chorus
