^Cl'm from the town ^Gdrenched in fo^Cotball and r^Fain ^Cthat fathered the t^Gerrible t^Cwins ^Ctom murphy the fo^Gotballer, playw^Cright and s^Finger ^Che left to spread his^G wide win^Cgs ^Cwhere the d^Gance halls once buzzing with^C shifts and ^Frefusals ^Cstand silent deje^Gcted and c^Cold ^Cwhere they played b^Gasketball for a ^Clonger d^Furation ^Cthan anywhere el^Gse in the w^Corld

chorus:

^Cwe're all the w^Fay from ^Gtuam ^C all the w^Fay from ^Gtuam ^Cwith a rock solid spir^Fit, t^Ghat'll never be broken ^Cthere's songs to be su^Fng, a^Gnd there's words to be spoken ^Cfrom the town that was bu^Filt, ^Gwhere the cart wheel was broken ^Cwe're all the w^Fay from ^Gtuam ^C all the w^Fay from ^Gtuam

comment: substitute, from the town.... to; l still remember, the white star being open(2nd chorus) add; no matter where you're from,everyone local(after,from the town...in the 3rd chorus) extra verses; where we'd spend all the weekends to help pass the winter playing soccer above in parkmore or we'd travel away for a match into galway in the swamp or out in renmore they'd be calling us smokies the lads from the city but l didn't care what they called me just plank it in lively across for the noodle, sham his jills with the k.d's a gomey chorus: here in the town where the high king once ruled with the wisdom of ages gone by the grey stone cathedral spiers are dwarfed by a tall metal tower in the sky where the traveller's are settling, and the settled gone travelling the pubs full of gossip and rumour you'll never better the people of tuam for their power, passion, packets and humour chorus: sounds good with an harmonica/accordion, and needs a geeser on a fiddle to whack out some subtle mellow undertones!! goodnight vienna simon
