Biography:
Christopher Anton Rea (born 4 March 1951) is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky singing and slide guitar playing, with the Guinness Rockopedia describing him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". After learning to play the guitar relatively late, a short burst of local band activity led to his launching a solo career in 1978.

SHAMROCK DIARIES by Chris Rea
Albums: “Shamrock Diaries” and “New Light Through Old Windows”
Intro: G G/C G G/C
G G/C
In waves of people you can lose your feet
G G/C
You’ve got to stay hard to the ground
G G/C
It gets so easy now to lose your way
G G/C
When you’re ever outward bound
C/F C/D
A church bell ringing in the fading light
C/F C/D
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
F/G F/C
The ghost of yester-years is touching you
C/F G/D
And as sure as god you’ll fall
G G/C G/A F/D
And I see you
G G/C G/A F/D
And I see me
G G/C G/A F/D
I see it all
G G/C G/A F/D
Like it used to be
C/F C/D C/F C/D
C/F C/D
And all the reasons why you started out
C/F C/D
They hit you hard with every bell
F/G F/C
The choir practice in the empty hall
C/F C/D
Is a sound you know so well
C/F C/D
Like something lost inside your overcoat
C/F C/D
You find it later by mistake
F/G F/C
You lost it all a thousand years ago
C/F G/D
And you pray it’s not too late
And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary
And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like it used to be
I’m gonna write it in a diary
Now I remember everything
Yeah I remember how it used to be
With every note that choir boy sings
And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary
