[Verse 1]
Fm C# D# G#
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
C# G# C# D#
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
Fm D# C# D# G#
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
A#m7 C# D#
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
A#m7 C# D#
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
A#m7 D#
The other times they mostly squinted out
Fm D# C# A#m7 G#
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
A#m7 C# D#
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
G#
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Fm C# D# G#
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Fm C# G#
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Fm D# C# D# G#
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
A#m7 C# G#
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
Fm C# D# G#
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
C# G# C# D#
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
Fm D# C# D# G#
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
A#m7 C# D#
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
A#m7 C# D#
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
A#m7 D#
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
Fm D# C# A#m7 G#
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
A#m7 C# D#
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
G#
For what was missing
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Fm C# D# G#
And Mary's house is empty now, the plant in town is closing
C# G# C# D#
Old John's put in his thirty years, Mary's ready to retire
Fm D# C# D# G#
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
A#m7 C# D#
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
A#m7 C# D#
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
A#m7 D#
For neither wants to say what they both know
Fm D# C# A#m7 G#
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
A#m7 C# D#
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
G#
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Fm C# D# G#
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Fm C# G#
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Fm D# C# D# G#
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
A#m7 C# G#
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
C# A#m7 D# G#
The missing piece aches deeply
