Tim O'brien does this song in his cd "Crossings". I would like to learn this song if I can find Lyrics and basic chords.

I have the CD but my ability to copy lyrics from the spoken (sung) word is nil. Same with chords, I an so talent challenged that I do well just to listen and pay attention.

Still, I someone would help I would have another song to bother my wife with. (She hears all my stuff, its a small house). Jeep

  G             C         G
  Where are my mamma and daddy
                C              G
  they came a long time before me
            Em           D            C
  now we've come on the steamship Atlantic
            G          D               G
  from our home far across the stormy sea

I have a letter in my pocket
they said we would meet on the pier
but the day it is now almost over
and the darkness and cold soon draw near
Chorus:

             Em         D           G
  Will they know their lost little children
           Em          D           C
  as they look for my face in the crowd
        G        C                 G
  It's been so long since they've seen me
         Em           D           G
  and I wonder will they know me now?

We gave them our four pounds and twenty
one last look at that green rocky shore
and they say that the new world has plenty
that we never see Sligo anymore

Hold to my hand, little brother
be brave and please try not to cry
for we have a good father and mother
and soon we'll be safe by their side


These are the words and chords I play. Success!!
