Intro
Gm7 A# C F
[Verse 1]
Dm A# C F
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
A# F A# C
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
Dm C A# C F
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
Gm7 A# C
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
Gm7 A# C
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
Gm7 C
The other times they mostly squinted out
Dm C A# Gm7 F
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
Gm7 A# C
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
F
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Dm A# C F
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Dm A# F
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Dm C A# C F
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Gm7 A# F
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
Dm A# C F
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
A# F A# C
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
Dm C A# C F
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
Gm7 A# C
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
Gm7 A# C
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
Gm7 C
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
Dm C A# Gm7 F
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
Gm7 A# C
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
F
For what was missing
[Instrumental]
Dm A# C F Dm A# F

[Verse 3]
Dm A# C F
And Mary's house is empty now, the plant in town is closing
A# F A# C
Old John's put in his thirty years, Mary's ready to retire
Dm C A# C F
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
Gm7 A# C
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
Gm7 A# C
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
Gm7 C
For neither wants to say what they both know
Dm C A# Gm7 F
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
Gm7 A# C
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
F
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Dm A# C F
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Dm A# F
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Dm C A# C F
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Gm7 A# F
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
A# Gm7 C F
The missing piece aches deeply
