F#m B
I walked the stairs, I walked the stairs

From the shadows, a light of you flared

Then I walked the roads, I walked, walked the roads
F#m A B
And they brought me to the raw shores of Cóbh
[Chorus]

New York, a cough of blood
A B
Along the waterfront
A B
My dreams were calling out
A
Of sky and stone

I watched my boy, I watched, watched my boy

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