Forty Shades Of Green
Ton : GEnglish
Couplet
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 DonaghaDdee;
I Gmiss the River Shannon
And the C folks at Skibbereen
The Gmoorlands and the meadows
With their D forty shades of Ggreen.
Refrain
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 eiderDdown;
G Again I want to see and do
The C things we've done and seen
With the G breeze as sweet as Shalimar
And there's D forty shades of G green.
Couplet
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.
Refrain
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 eiderDdown;
G Again I want to see and do
The C things we've done and seen
With the G breeze as sweet as Shalimar
And there's D forty shades of G green.
