The Wild Swans - Dancing At The Crossroads Chords

        A            D
Well I remember as a young boy
                  G
The beginning of September
                        Em
We were standing at the station
G               A
Waiting for a train.
 
            A                    D
There was priests and christian brothers
                            G
There was nuns and reverend mothers
                                Em
There was guards and drunks and others
       G                   A
But everyone was just the same
 
           A             D
Well they came from Enniscorthy
                             G
From New Ross and Ferns and Gorey
                          Em
There was busses from Bunclody
          G                  A
There was horses, carts and all
 
                A                 D
And when they steped out on the platform
                         G
They were shouting and screaming
                          Em
And as they carried Larry Murphy
          G                 A
He looked twenty-five feet tall
 
              A             D
So whats the story Martin Storey
                                G
Now Wexford's really bound for glory
                             Em
And when at last the cup was lifted
              G                   A
They said we brought it home for you
 
Chorus:
         D
We were dancing at the crossroads,
                    G
In the shadow of a bomfire
                      Em
Underneath the silver moon light
         A             D
We were singing until dawn,
 
         A              D
We were dancing at the crossroads,
                        G
With the poteen and the porter,
                           Em
Dancing jigs and reels and polkas
   A         D       A
Until the early morn 
 
         A               D
In every bar down on the main street
                           G
They were hanging from the rafters
                          Em
And they sang the boys of Wexford
            G             A
Like it was going out of style
 
         A                D
All the bingo halls were empty
                             G
And all the Masses finished early
                          Em
Sure no one ever saw the likes of
          G         A
Since the time of JFK
 
             A              D
And when we look at young O'Gorman
                                  G
And through the mid field he was stormin
                            Em
And then the Cusack Stand erupted
         G              A
When he scored from 60 yards
 
Chorus:
 
       A               D
And I think of George O'Connor
                       G
So many said he was a goner
                            Em
But when he stood up in the Hogan
       G               A
I even saw an old man cry
