My ma would like a letter home, but I'm too tired for writing
And it's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare from here
It's a long, long way, gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart when I think of my family
I told them I'd be coming home with my pockets full of greens
And it's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare from here
It's a long, long way, gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
F G C - G C
The only time I feel all right is when I'm into drinking
F G C - G/B Am - Am/G
It can sort of ease the pain of it and it levels out my thinking
And it's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare from here
It's a long, long way, gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear the fiddles play; maybe it's just a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
And it's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare from here
It's a long, long way, gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way, gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here

Nanci Griffith - From Clare To Here Tab :: indexed at Ultimate Guitar.
About artist:
Griffith's career has spanned a variety of musical genres, predominantly country, folk, and what she terms "folkabilly." Griffith won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1994 for her recording, Other Voices, Other Rooms. This album features Griffith covering the songs of artists who are her major influences. Her best-known song is "From a Distance" by Julie Gold, although Bette Midler's version achieved greater commercial success. Similarly, other artists have occasionally achieved greater success with Griffith's songs than Griffith herself. For example, Kathy Mattea had a country music top five hit with a 1986 cover of Griffith's "Love at the Five and Dime," and Suzy Bogguss had one of her largest hits with Griffith's and Tom Russell's "Outbound Plane."
Griffith was married to singer-songwriter Eric Taylor from 1976 to 1982. In the early 1990s, she was engaged to singer-songwriter Tom Kimmel, but the couple parted before marrying. Griffith is a survivor of breast cancer which was diagnosed in 1996, and thyroid cancer in 1998.[1]
Griffith has in recent years toured with various other artists including Buddy Holly's band, The Crickets, John Prine, Iris DeMent, Suzy Bogguss and Judy Collins. Griffith has recorded duets with many artists, among them Don McLean, Jimmy Buffett, Willie Nelson, Adam Duritz (Singer of Counting Crows), and Darius Rucker (Singer of Hootie & the Blowfish). She has also contributed background vocals on many other recordings.[2] She is particularly popular in Ireland,[citation needed] and has recorded with The Chieftains.
