Shamrock Diaries

SHAMROCK DIARIES by Chris Rea

Albums: “Shamrock Diaries” and “New Light Through Old Windows”

Intro: G G/C G G/C

 GG/C
 In waves of people you can lose your feet
 GG/C
 You've got to stay hard to the ground
 GG/C
 It gets so easy now to lose your way
 GG/C
 When you're ever outward bound
 C/FC/D
 A church bell ringing in the fading light
 C/FC/D
 Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
 F/GF/C
 The ghost of yester-years is touching you
 C/FG/D
 And as sure as god you'll fall

 GG/CG/AF/D
 And I see you         
 GG/CG/AF/D
 And I see me          
 GG/CG/AF/D
 I see it all        
 GG/CG/AF/D
Like it used to be              

 C/FC/DC/FC/D
 C/FC/D
 And all the reasons why you started out
 C/FC/D
 They hit you hard with every bell
 F/GF/C
 The choir practice in the empty hall
 C/FC/D
Is a sound you know so well
 C/FC/D
 Like something lost inside your overcoat
 C/FC/D
 You find it later by mistake
 F/GF/C
 You lost it all a thousand years ago
 C/FG/D
And you pray it's not too late

And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary

And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like it used to be

I'm gonna write it in a diary
Now I remember everything
Yeah I remember how it used to be
With every note that choir boy sings

And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary
