[E] I'd like to dedicate a song to all of the Irish fans that are here tonight.
A song I [Abm] wrote, [A] a song I [E] wrote in 1961.
I close my eyes and picture [A] the emerald of the sea
From the fishing [E] boats that dingle to the [B] shores of Dunedin
[E] I miss the River Shannon [Ab] [A] and the folks at Skipperine
The moorlands and [E] the meadows with [B] their forty shades [E] of green
But [A] most of all [B] I miss a girl [E] in Tipperary town
[Ab] [A] And most of all [B] I miss her lips [E] as soft as I [B] ate her down
[E] Again I want to see and do [A] the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as [E]
shallomar and [B] there's forty shades [E] of green
I wish that I could spend an hour [A] at Dublin's Churning Surf
I'd love to watch the [E] farmers drain [Gb] the vaults and [B] spade the dirt
[Gb] [E] To see again the thatching of the [A] straw the women gleamed
I'd walk from court [E] to learn to see [B] the forty shades [E] of green
But [A] most of all [B] I miss a girl [E] in Tipperary town
[A] And most of all [B] I miss her lips [E] as soft as [B] I ate her down
[E] Again I want to see and do [Ab] [A] the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as [E] shallomar and [B] there's forty shades [E] of green
