Intro
Am7 C D G
[Verse 1]
Em 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
Em D C D G
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
Am7 C D
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
Am7 C D
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
Am7 D
The other times they mostly squinted out
Em D C Am7 G
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
Am7 C D
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
G
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Em C D G
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Em C G
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Em D C D G
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Am7 C G
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
Em 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
Em D C D G
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
Am7 C D
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
Am7 C D
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
Am7 D
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
Em D C Am7 G
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
Am7 C D
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
G
For what was missing
[Instrumental]
Em C D G Em C G

[Verse 3]
Em 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
Em D C D G
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
Am7 C D
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
Am7 C D
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
Am7 D
For neither wants to say what they both know
Em D C Am7 G
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
Am7 C D
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
G
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Em C D G
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Em C G
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Em D C D G
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Am7 C G
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
C Am7 D G
The missing piece aches deeply
