Cherish The Ladies - The Missing Piece
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Intro]
Dm7 F G C
[Verse 1]
Am F G C
John and Mary went to live in the Midwest in 1950
F C F G
They worked as hard as immigrants, bought a house and a used car
Am G F G C
But their home was still to be a long, long way from Detroit city
Dm7 F G
It called out of the lost part of their hearts
Dm7 F G
And their Irish eyes only really smiled when they thought of County Kerry
Dm7 G
The other times they mostly squinted out
Am G F Dm7 C
And they reared their kids to sing the songs and share in the same longing
Dm7 F G
No fault of theirs, this love of loyal hearts
C
For what was missing
[Chorus]
Am F G C
Like an animal who'll choose to lose his leg to gain his freedom
Am F C
And leave it cut and torn inside the trap
Am G F G C
When feelings stir and hearts are opened up for any reason
Dm7 F C
The missing piece aches deeply to go back
[Verse 2]
Am F G C
Their feelings stirred on holidays, 'specially Christmas morning
F C F G
When Brighde, Tom and Maureen ran with glee into their play
Am G F G C
Mary left alone, would pick up paper, bows, and wrapping
Dm7 F G
And John would peel the turnips and make tea
Dm7 F G
There were silences on days like that, that needed no explaining
Dm7 G
Their hearts were with their families back in Kerry
Am G F Dm7 C
And the wild beauty of the land, to their memory calling
Dm7 F G
No pity now, you've learned to bear the pain
C
For what was missing
