Anthony John Clarke - Day too long

I saw the big ship ^Gleaving ^C Roxy saw it ^Ftoo ^Am You were never bad e^Dnough for me, darling I was ^Amnever good enough for ^Dyou ^F

Those little moments ^Glate at night When for ^Cno darn reason You'd ^Fwake up and fight I've ^Cstayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__

She said the castle was a ^Gmystery, could I tell her its ^Chistory What didn't I ^Fknow ^Am It's just a pile of stones, they've ^Dalways been there I've ^Amnever had a reason to ^Dgo ^F

Sometimes it's better just to ^Gfollow your nose She was ^Cbanging on the doors But the ^Fcastle was closed I've ^Cstayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__

Goodness ^E7me, it's no distance from Antrim to ^FAfland We could ^E7leave the car here and all be in Scotland for ^Ftea And ^E7Roxy looked for the ferry to take us to ^FDublin town Oh, but it ^Cmight have been better if they'd all just stayed here with ^Gme ^C

Was that the rain on my ^Gback, was that the wind in my ^Cface Was it the shingle ^Fshore ^Am Or just sitting on the ^Dsame wooden bench We'd ^Amshared back in 'seventy-^Dfour ^F

I smoked, I told her some ^Gjokes Drank some whiskey and ^CCokes She got me drunk as a ^Flord And I ^Cstayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__ I know I stayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__

Glory ^E7be, I hoped I'd be better than ^Fnothing And if you ^E7want something pretty to look at, go look at that ^Fsea You had ^E7time on your hands and we loved the same bands You ^Fwalked far too quickly, I could not hold hands But if ^Cthat's okay with you, darling, hey, it's okay by ^Gme ^C

She said the castle was a ^Gmystery, could I tell her its ^Chistory But I didn't ^Fknow I guess I ^Cstayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__ I guess I stayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__ I guess I ^Cstayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__ I guess I ^Cstayed in Carrick^Gfergus a day too ^Flong_^C__
