Intro
Bm7 D E A
[Verse 1]
F#m D E A
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
D A D E
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
F#m E D E A
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
Bm7 D E
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
Bm7 D E
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
Bm7 E
The other times they mostly squinted out
F#m E D Bm7 A
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
Bm7 D E
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
A
For what was missing
[Chorus]
F#m D E A
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
F#m D A
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
F#m E D E A
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Bm7 D A
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
F#m D E A
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
D A D E
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
F#m E D E A
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
Bm7 D E
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
Bm7 D E
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
Bm7 E
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
F#m E D Bm7 A
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
Bm7 D E
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
A
For what was missing
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F#m D E A
And Mary's house is empty now, the plant in town is closing
D A D E
Old John's put in his thirty years, Mary's ready to retire
F#m E D E A
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
Bm7 D E
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
Bm7 D E
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
Bm7 E
For neither wants to say what they both know
F#m E D Bm7 A
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
Bm7 D E
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
A
For what was missing
[Chorus]
F#m D E A
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
F#m D A
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
F#m E D E A
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Bm7 D A
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
D Bm7 E A
The missing piece aches deeply
