[Verse 1]
A#m F# G# C#
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
F# C# F# G#
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
A#m G# F# G# C#
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
D#m7 F# G#
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
D#m7 F# G#
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
D#m7 G#
The other times they mostly squinted out
A#m G# F# D#m7 C#
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
D#m7 F# G#
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
C#
For what was missing
[Chorus]
A#m F# G# C#
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
A#m F# C#
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
A#m G# F# G# C#
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
D#m7 F# C#
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
A#m F# G# C#
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
F# C# F# G#
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
A#m G# F# G# C#
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
D#m7 F# G#
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
D#m7 F# G#
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
D#m7 G#
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
A#m G# F# D#m7 C#
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
D#m7 F# G#
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
C#
For what was missing
[Instrumental]
A#m F# G# C# A#m F# C#
A#m G# F# G# C# A#m F# G# C#
[Verse 3]
A#m F# G# C#
And Mary's house is empty now, the plant in town is closing
F# C# F# G#
Old John's put in his thirty years, Mary's ready to retire
A#m G# F# G# C#
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
D#m7 F# G#
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
D#m7 F# G#
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
D#m7 G#
For neither wants to say what they both know
A#m G# F# D#m7 C#
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
D#m7 F# G#
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
C#
For what was missing
[Chorus]
A#m F# G# C#
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
A#m F# C#
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
A#m G# F# G# C#
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
D#m7 F# C#
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
F# D#m7 G# C#
The missing piece aches deeply
