This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
This is Nanci Griffith's version.

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

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
Ending: Fmaj9 G Am(9).
