Tom: C
F G C
I wish that I was home in Donegal
F G
To be with you beside the sea
Am F
To hear your sweet voice calling me
C G C
Back to my home in Donegal

C Dm G
He walks upon the streets of New Orleans
C Dm
There is a strange and unfamiliar look
F G
To every face he sees.
F G
He came here for the money
C F Dm
The adventure and the craic
C Dm
Now all he ever thinks about
G C
Is someday going back
.

[chorus]
.
.
C Dm G
He misses all his family and friends
C Dm
There's times when he'd give all he has
F G
Just to be with them again
F G
Before the young ones move away
C F Dm
The old ones are all gone.
C Dm
Before his heart can realize
G C
He's been away too long.
.

[chorus]
.
.
C Dm G
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
C Dm
To get a job of extra work
F G
He?ll save the money for the flight
F G
But lonely dreams in darkness
C F Dm
disappear before the dawn
C Dm
Familiar faces fade away
G C
All the dreams are gone.
