Intro
F#m7 A B E
[Verse 1]
C#m A B E
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
A E A B
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
C#m B A B E
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
F#m7 A B
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
F#m7 A B
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
F#m7 B
The other times they mostly squinted out
C#m B A F#m7 E
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
F#m7 A B
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
E
For what was missing
[Chorus]
C#m A B E
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
C#m A E
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
C#m B A B E
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
F#m7 A E
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
C#m A B E
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
A E A B
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
C#m B A B E
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
F#m7 A B
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
F#m7 A B
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
F#m7 B
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
C#m B A F#m7 E
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
F#m7 A B
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
E
For what was missing
[Instrumental]
C#m A B E C#m A E
C#m B A B E C#m A B E
[Verse 3]
C#m A B E
And Mary's house is empty now, the plant in town is closing
A E A B
Old John's put in his thirty years, Mary's ready to retire
C#m B A B E
This should be the time to head back home to what's been missing
F#m7 A B
But their heart's no longer sure of their desire
F#m7 A B
They talk for months and months of pensions, punts, and their survival
F#m7 B
For neither wants to say what they both know
C#m B A F#m7 E
They'd only be 'The Yanks' at home and they'd miss their grandkids growing
F#m7 A B
They'll stay right here and reap what they have sown
E
For what was missing
[Chorus]
C#m A B E
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
C#m A E
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
C#m B A B E
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
F#m7 A E
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
A F#m7 B E
The missing piece aches deeply
