NANCI GRIFFITH - "from clare to here" Tablature
Official NANCI GRIFFITH Tablature & Sheet Music »
These chords work, more or less, but I don't think they're exactly right,
if anybody out there has a more precise rendering of the song could you
maybe share your version?
BTW, the song was written by a guy by the name of McTell, I think, I don't
have the album credits handy and I can't remember the name for sure, but
it's not a Nanci Griffith original.

Four who shared this room and
G D
We were caught up in the crack

Sleeping late on Sundays
G D
And we never got to Mass

Chorus: It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long way from Clare to here
C D
It's a long, long way
Emin D C
Gets further by the day
D Emin D
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
C
When Friday comes around
G D
We're only into fighting
C
My Ma would like a letter home, but
G D
I'm too tired for writing
Chorus
C
It almost breaks my heart
G D
When I think of my family

I told them I'd be coming home with my
G D
Pockets full of green
Chorus
C D
The only time I feel alright
G C G
Is when I'm into drinking
C
It can sort of ease the pain of it and it
G D Emin D
Levels out my thinking
Chorus
C
I sometimes hear the fiddles play
G D
Maybe it's just a notion
C
I dream I see white horses dance upon
G D
That other ocean
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NANCI GRIFFITH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
