Intro
Em7 G A D
[Verse 1]
Bm G A D
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
G D G A
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
Bm A G A D
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
Em7 G A
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
Em7 G A
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
Em7 A
The other times they mostly squinted out
Bm A G Em7 D
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
Em7 G A
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
D
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Bm G A D
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Bm G D
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Bm A G A D
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Em7 G D
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
Bm G A D
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
G D G A
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
Bm A G A D
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
Em7 G A
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
Em7 G A
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
Em7 A
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
Bm A G Em7 D
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
Em7 G A
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
D
For what was missing
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Bm G A D
And Mary's house is empty now, the plant in town is closing
G D G A
Old John's put in his thirty years, Mary's ready to retire
Bm A G A D
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
Em7 G A
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
Em7 G A
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
Em7 A
For neither wants to say what they both know
Bm A G Em7 D
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
Em7 G A
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
D
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Bm G A D
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Bm G D
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Bm A G A D
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Em7 G D
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
G Em7 A D
The missing piece aches deeply
