From: [e-mail]

I'm looking for the lyrics(and tune) of a song from back home in Ireland. All I know is the chorus goes something like..

You never tell me why
you got that teardrop in your eye
I've seen it there
a hundred times before.
da da da da da
and it nearly da da my mind
oh you never come to see me anymore..

Thats all I can recall(da da means i do'nt know the words, but but it shows the rhythm)

Regards

Peter M

Google

You Seldom Come To See Me Anymore

It will take you to Johnny McEvoy's site from which you can copy the lyrics. I can't get it to copy/paste, but they are the lyric AND chords you seek.

I found the lyrics at unitedireland.tripod.com, but not at Johnny McEvoy's Website.

You Seldom Come To See Me Anymore
(Johnny McEvoy)

[G]What's your hurry can't you stay and[Am] pass an [C]hour a[G]way
And[D] we'll sit and dream a [D7]while by cand[G]lelight[D7]
[G]For when the long days over that's the [C]time I fear the[G] most
When I [D]hear your footsteps[D7] fade into the[G] night
Chorus
You're[C] restless tell me[C7] why there's a[G] teardrop in you're eye
And I've seen it there a[Am7] hundred[G] times be[D]fore
And I [G]know you're going to[G7] leave me and it [C]always[D7] breaks my[G] heart
For you[D] seldom come to[D7] see me any[G] more

I well recalled that day when my ship it sailed away
To a far off distant land across the sea
Where a cruel war was raging where time was standing still
And blind hatred was the order of the day
Chorus
I know it can't be said for a soldier's wife to hear
How he helped to keep his country proud and free
No ------ or fancy ribbons can ever ease the pain
When he comes back half the man he used to be

That's the one I meant. I could get it all to turn blue, but right-click to copy wouldn't work. Thanks.
