verse 1 
                  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 
Coming down the West Clare railway 
Am               D7             G   C  D7  G    C  D7  G 
Running with the shades of Gloria 


verse 2 
                    Am        G 
The wind is full of memories 
                D     Bm 
That murmur and sigh 
                 C                       G 
Hills lie 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  
When they are on fire__ 
           Am        D7             G   C  D7  G 
And running with the shades of Gloria 


verse 3 
                          Am        G 
And the waves roll at the headland 
                        D 
When the tide is rising there 
    Bm            C                  G 
And here there is starlight falling 
               D 
Down on the hills of Clare 
  C                    D 
I knew them when I was hungry 
      Em             D     C   G 
And I knew them when I was scared 
       Am               D7             G 
And go running with the shades of Gloria

verse 4 
                  Am       G 
I am going to the country 
            D      Bm 
Miko in his prime 
                   C       G 
Weaves a thread of melody 
                 D 
In his own sweet time 
C                D 
You can hear him sing and whistle 
Em D        C  G  
Anytime you care__ 
             Am        D7             G   C  D7  G    C  D7  G 
To go running with the shades of Gloria

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 
Coming down the West Clare railway 
Am               D7             Em  G  C
