It’s (D)hard to settle (Bm)down at first when you (G)go
away from (Em)home
And the (A)people that you left behind your (G)heart is surely (D)torn
I remember people (Bm)sayin’ to me just (G)try it while
you’re (Em)young
If you (A)don’t like it over there back (G)home you
can always (D)come
And (D)all that I brought (Bm)with me was a (G)bag and my
gui(Em)tar
Just (A)wanted to do the same as home just (G)play in all the (D)bars
Well it wasn’t like the (Bm)Lisheen or the (G)pubs
up in Clon(Em)bur
But the (A)people here in Boston like to (G)make you feel
as if it (D)were
Chorus
(G)People say
in (A)time you get a (D)job and you settle (Bm)down
But there’s
(G)always something (Em)in my mind saying (G)this is not my (A)town
Each (G)mornin’
when I (Em)wake up and I (D)start a brand new (Bm)day
I look (G)forward
to (Em)going back to (A)Galway.
(D)People say that (Bm)Boston is just (G)one big Irish (Em)town
You (A)meet them there from Galway, Cork from (G)Meath and
Carrow(D)town
Well its great to meet your (Bm)friends out there but (G)sometimes
it’s so (Em)sad
To (A)think they had to leave their homes cause the (G)work
back there was (D)bad
(D)We went to the (Bm)soccer they're (G)stone-mad over (Em)there
And when (A)Ireland plays a match we all go (G)crazy on the
(D)beer
On the big screen in the (Bm)Blackhorn that’s my (G)local
bar round (Em)there
(A)Big Jack and the lads in green they’re (G)also drinkin’
(D)there
