Verse
Am G
I am going to the country
D Bm
Going down that verdant lane
C G
With nothing but a whistle in my hand
D
And a pocketful of rain
C D
Can you hear that distant sound
Em D C G Am
Coming down the West Clare railway
G D/F# C D
And running with the shades of Gloria
Verse
Am G
The wind is full of memories
D Bm
That murmur and sigh
C G
Hills rise in the foaming grass of Clare
D
Below the cold moon's eye
C D
You should come and see them now
Em D C G Am
When they are on fire
G D/F# C D
And running with the shades of Gloria
Verse
Am G
The waves roll at the headland
D
When the tide is rising there
Bm C
But here, there is starlight falling
G D
Down on the hills of Clare
C D
I knew them when I was hungry
Em D C G Am
And I knew them when I was scared
G D/F# C D
And running with the shades of Gloria

Where Micho in his prime

Weaved a thread of melody

In his own sweet time

running with the shades of Gloria
