Anthony John Clarke - Irish Eyes

[Intro]
C Dm Em F C G

[Verse 1]
C Dm
John's family, it was everything
Em F
And the children were his life
C G
And the neighbours always spoke of John so well
C Dm
For once the cards stacked in his favour
Em F
And the offer came his way
C G C G
Twenty pounds for one night's work, he might as well

[Verse 2]
C
John drove his lorry down an empty road
F C G
From Carryduff through Saintfield, Tollymore
C Dm
But they found poor John's body
Em F
On the side of the lonely road
C G C Dm Em F C G
And the neighbours heard the police tap on the door

[Verse 3]
C Dm
Well, the police they took the phone call
Em F
It said there'd been some mistake
C G
And apologies were sent to all concerned
C Dm
Two hooded men had stopped John's lorry
Em F
On the side of the lonely road
C G C G
But their bullet had been meant for someone else

[Verse 4]
C
John's family tried to understand it
F C G
They prayed in church for strength to pull them through
C Dm
But they'd been seeing lorries
