Johnny Cash – Forty Shades Of Green chords

G                                C I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea, 
               G      From the fishing boats at Dingle, 
             A7                D      To the shores of Donagha -dea; 
        G      I miss the River Shannon, 
              C      And the folks at Skibbereen, 
          G      The moorlands and the meadows 
                 D               G      With their forty shades of green. 

Chorus: 
           C       But most of all I miss a girl in 
       G       Tipperary town. 
           C                      G       And most of all I miss her lips, 
          A7            D       As soft as eider-down; 
       G       Again I want to see and do 
           C       The things we've done and seen, 
                G       With the breeze as sweet as shalamar, 
                    D               G        And there's forty shades of green. 

      I wish that I could spend an hour 
         C      At Dublin's churning surf, 
          G      I'd love to watch the farmers drain  
         A7                 D     The bogs and spade the turf; 
        G     To see again the thatches  
            C     Of the straw the women glean; 
         G     I'd walk from Cork to Laren to see 
         D               G     The forty shades of green. 
 
                     Chorus
