Verse
Em A
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs
Em G A
From the shadows, a light of you flared
Em G A
Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads
Em G A
And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh
[Chorus]
G A
New York, a cough of blood
G A
Along the waterfront
G A
My dreams were calling out
G
Of sky and stone
[Interlude]

G Em G A Em F#m
And I knew what my eyes were fighting for

I watched my boy, I watched, watched my boy
[Chorus]

Look out for my son

He is so very young

Look out for my son
My blood and bone

I nursed the dead, I nursed, I nursed the dead

And I drew the curtains 'cross my own head

Began to feel I'm never alone

My story's told
