Verse
Dm G
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs
Dm F G
From the shadows, a light of you flared
Dm F G
Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads
Dm F G
And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh
[Chorus]
F G
New York, a cough of blood
F G
Along the waterfront
F G
My dreams were calling out
F
Of sky and stone
[Interlude]
Dm Em F C G F Em
[Verse 2]
F Dm F G Dm Em
I went westwards towards another war
F Dm F G Dm Em
And I knew what my eyes were fighting for
F Dm F G Dm Em F G
I watched my boy, I watched, watched my boy
[Chorus]

Look out for my son
F G
He is so very young

Look out for my son
My blood and bone

[Verse 3]
Dm F G Dm Em
I nursed the dead, I nursed, I nursed the dead
F Dm F G Dm Em
And I drew the curtains 'cross my own head
F Dm F G Dm Em
I went home, I went, went on home
F Dm F G Dm Em F G
Began to feel I'm never alone
[Chorus]

Look out for my soul

It never will get old

Look out for my soul
F
My story's told
[Outro]

When I crossed the Atlantic

I arrived on the Westside
