Dm                              G
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs
         Dm         F            G
From the shadows, a light of you flared
       Dm                  F                  G
Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads
         Dm                F             G
And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh


[Chorus]
            F               G
New York, a cough of blood
          F           G
Along the waterfront
               F            G
My dreams were calling out
           F
Of sky and stone


[Interlude]
Dm  Em  F  C  G  F  Em


[Verse 2]
F      Dm          F             G   Dm  Em
I went westwards towards another war
F     Dm           F                  G   Dm  Em
And I knew what my eyes were fighting for
F Dm                F                   G   Dm  Em  F  G
I watched my boy, I watched, watched my boy


[Chorus]
         F           G
Look out for my son
         F           G
He is so very young
         F           G
Look out for my son

My blood and bone


[Instrumental]
C   F   C   F
F  Dm   F   G
F  Dm   F   G  Dm  Em
F  Dm   F   G
F  Dm   F   G  Dm  Em  F  G


[Chorus]
         F           G
Look out for my son
          F           G
He was so very young
         F           G
Look out for my son
             F
My blood and bone


[Verse 3]
  Dm                 F                    G    Dm  Em
I nursed the dead, I nursed, I nursed the dead
F     Dm                 F            G    Dm  Em
And I drew the curtains 'cross my own head
F      Dm      F             G    Dm  Em
I went home, I went, went on home
F Dm              F      G    Dm  Em  F  G
Began to feel I'm never alone


[Chorus]
         F            G
Look out for my soul
         F             G
It never will get old
         F            G
Look out for my soul
           F
My story's told


[Outro]
       C             F  C
When I crossed the Atlantic
                 F   C
I arrived on the Westside
