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