;5000 Miles Away From Sligo ;Johnny McCauley . C An old map I have found . F So in thoughts I am bound . C G For old Ireland's green mountains and streams . C To the land of my heart . F Through the heart of my land . C G C I am wandering tonight in my dreams . C As I view Sligo bay . F And not so far away . C G There's Clooney and the girl I once knew . C And my eyes start to fill . F As I think of Lough Gill . C G C In this map they have coloured in blue. [chorus] . C F Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo .C G Wondering why I ever had to go . C F Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo . C G C Pretending I'm on my way back home. [] [key change] . D Tubbercurry is there . G And there's Ballysadare . D A Ballymote holds old memories for me . D From the Ox Mountain range . G To the coastline of Grange . D A D There's Roscommon to Leitrim you'll see . D So from Sligo and home . G Once again I must roam . D A Back along the along highway eighty-three . D G And my memorys of gold, in this atlas I fold . D A D And return here to reality. [chorus] . D G Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo .D A Wondering why I ever had to go . D G Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo . D A D Pretending I'm on my way back home. .
