There's [C]four who share this room
And we [D]work hard for the crack
[C]Sleeping late on Sundays
I [D]never get to Mass


{soc}
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [G]here  [G/F#]      [Em]
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [Em]here
Oh [C]it's a long, long way, it grows [Bm]further by the [Em]day
It's a [Am]long way [D]  from Clare to [Em]here

When Friday comes around
Terry's only into fighting
Me ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing

{soc}
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [G]here  [G/F#]      [Em]
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [Em]here
Oh [C]it's a long, long way, it grows [Bm]further by the [Em]day
It's a [Am]long way [D]  from Clare to [Em]here

It almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I told her I'C be coming home
With my pockets full of green

{soc}
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [G]here  [G/F#]      [Em]
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [Em]here
Oh [C]it's a long, long way, it grows [Bm]further by the [Em]day
It's a [Am]long way [D]  from Clare to [Em]here

The only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It sort of eased the pain of it
And it levels out my thinking

{soc}
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [G]here  [G/F#]      [Em]
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [Em]here
Oh [C]it's a long, long way, it grows [Bm]further by the [Em]day
It's a [Am]long way [D]  from Clare to [Em]here
{eoc}

I sometimes hear a fiddle play
Or maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dance
Upon that other ocean

{soc}
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [G]here  [G/F#]      [Em]
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [Em]here
Oh [C]it's a long, long way, it grows [Bm]further by the [Em]day
It's a [Am]long way [D]  from Clare to [Em]here

It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [G]here  [G/F#]      [Em]
It's a [Am]long long [D]way from Clare to [Em]here
Oh [C]it's a long, long way, it grows [Bm]further by the [Em]day
It's a [Am]long way [D]  from Clare to [Em]here
