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

I went westwards towards another war
E C#m E F# C#m D#m
And I knew what my eyes were fighting for
E C#m E F# C#m D#m E F#
I watched my boy, I watched, watched my boy
[Chorus]
E F#
Look out for my son

He is so very young

Look out for my son
My blood and bone

[Verse 3]
C#m E F# C#m D#m
I nursed the dead, I nursed, I nursed the dead
E C#m E F# C#m D#m
And I drew the curtains 'cross my own head
E C#m E F# C#m D#m
I went home, I went, went on home
E C#m E F# C#m D#m E F#
Began to feel I'm never alone

Look out for my soul

It never will get old

Look out for my soul
E
My story's told

When I crossed the Atlantic

I arrived on the Westside
