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

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