Chords:
[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 C D
And I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
G C D
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
F C G
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
(shortened intro)
[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 C D
And I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
G C D
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
D
Stone walls and the grasses green
F C G
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
[Solo]

[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 C D
And I wish I was on that N 17

Stone walls and the grasses green

Yes I wish I was on that N 17
