Forty Shades Of Green - Johnny Cash
[Intro]
[C] [G] [D7] [G]
Verse 1:
[G] I close my eyes and picture the [C]emerald of the sea,
From the [G]fishing boats at Dingle,
To the [A7]shores of Donagha [D]-dea;
I [G]miss the River Shannon,
And the [C]folks at Skibbereen,
The [G]moorlands and the meadows
With their [D]forty shades of [G]green.
|[Chorus]
|But [C]most of all I miss a girl in
|[G]Tipperary town.
|And [C]most of all I miss her [G]lips,
|As [A7]soft as eider-[D]down;
|[G]Again I want to see and do
|The [C]things we've done and seen,
|With the [G]breeze as sweet as shalamar,
|And there's [D]forty shades of [G]green.
Verse 2:
I wish that I could spend an hour
At [C]Dublin's churning surf,
I'd [G]love to watch the farmers drain
The [A7]bogs and spade the [D]turf;
To [G]see again the thatches
Of the [C]straw the women glean;
I'd [G]walk from Cork to Larne to see
The [D]forty shades of [G]green.
|[Chorus]
|But [C]most of all I miss a girl in
|[G]Tipperary town.
|And [C]most of all I miss her [G]lips,
|As [A7]soft as eider-[D]down;
|[G]Again I want to see and do
|The [C]things we've done and seen,
|With the [G]breeze as sweet as shalamar,
|And there's [D]forty shades of [G]green.
[Outro]
With the [G]breeze as sweet as shalamar,
And there's [D]forty shades of [G]green.
