  subject:"all the way from tuam", saw doctors, all the way from tuam ,1992

  it sort of goes like this,

  

  C                 G             C           F

  l'm from the town drenched in football and rain

  C                  G        C

  that fathered the terrible twins

  C                G              C          F

  tom murphy the footballer, playwright and singer

  C                    G        C

  he left to spread his wide wings

  C          G                           C           F

  where the dance halls once buzzing with shifts and refusals

  C                G         C

  stand silent dejected and cold

  C                  G               C       F

  where they played basketball for a longer duration

  C               G          C

  than anywhere else in the world

  

  chorus:

  C              F       G

  we're all the way from tuam

  C              F       G

        all the way from tuam

  C                     F    G

  with a rock solid spirit, that'll never be broken

  C                     F    G

  there's songs to be sung, and there's words to be spoken

  C                        F    G

  from the town that was built, where the cart wheel was broken

  C              F       G

  we're all the way from tuam

  C              F       G

        all the way from tuam

  

  comment:

  substitute, from the town....

  to; l still remember, the white star being open(2nd chorus)

  add; no matter where you're from,everyone local(after,from the town...in the

  3rd chorus)

  extra verses;

  where we'd spend  all the weekends to help pass the winter

  playing soccer above in parkmore

  or we'd travel away for a match into galway

  in the swamp or out in renmore

  they'd be calling us smokies the lads from the city

  but l didn't care what they called me

  just plank it in lively across for the noodle, sham

  his jills with the k.d's a gomey

  chorus:

  here in the town where the high king once ruled

  with the wisdom of ages gone by

  the grey stone cathedral spiers are dwarfed

  by a tall metal tower in the sky

  where the traveller's are settling, and the settled gone travelling

  the pubs full of gossip and rumour

  you'll never better the people of tuam

  for their power, passion, packets and humour

  chorus:

  

  sounds good with an harmonica/accordion, and needs a geeser on a fiddle to

  whack out some subtle mellow undertones!!

  goodnight vienna
