Forty Shades Of Green
Intro: [C G D7 G]
I [G] close my eyes and picture, the [C] emerald of the sea
From the [C] fishing boats at [G] Dingle, to the [A7] shores of Duna’ [D7] dee
I [G] miss the river Shannon, and the [C] folks at Skipparee
The [C] moorlands and the [G] meadows, with their [D7] forty shades of [G] green
Chorus:
But [C] most of all I [D7] miss a girl, in [G] Tipperary Town
And [C] most of all I [D7] miss her lips, as [G] soft as eider[D7]down
A[G]gain I want to see and do, the [C] things we've done and seen
Where the [C] breeze is sweet as [G] Shalimar
And there's [D7] forty shades of [G] green
Where the [C] breeze is sweet as [G] Shalimar
And there's [D7] forty shades of [G] green
I [G] wish that I could spend an hour, at [C] Dublin's churning surf
I'd love to watch the [G] farmers, drain the [A7] bogs and spade the [D7] turf
To [G] see again the thatching, of the [C] straw the women glean
I’d [C] walk from Cork to [G] Lian, to see the [D7] forty shades of [G] green
Chorus:
But [C] most of all I [D7] miss a girl in [G] Tipperary Town
And [C] most of all I [D7] miss her lips, as [G] soft as eider[D7]down
[G] Again I want to see and do, the [C] things we've done and seen
Where the [C] breeze is sweet as [G] Shalimar
And there's [D7] forty shades of [G] green
Where the [C] breeze is sweet as [G] Shalimar
And there's [D7] forty shades of [G*] green
