Verse 1: I would never have dreamt on the first day I came
C D

That
I'd still be in London today.

To
return home I've tried, but my hopes have long died

Work
in Ireland is further away
C D

And
I can't seem to find a way home
C D
G
No,
I can't seem to find a way home
G D
Em
But
to give up my soul and go back on that dole
Em
D Em
That
would seem is the only way home
C D

And
I can't seem to find a way home

Verse 2: Now, my mother, she's hopin' some day they'll re-open
That
factory that's down near Athy.
But
what use is there writin' a job application?
There's
never a word of reply
And
I can't seem to find a way home
No,
I can't seem to find a way home
A
whole generation in forced emigration
How
many will never return,
For
we can't seem to find a way home
No,
we can't seem to find a way home
