I close my eyes and picture
F
The emerald of the sea
C
From the fishing boats at Dingle
D7
G7
To the shores of Dunadee
C
I miss the river Shannon
F
And the folks at Skipparee
C
The moorlands and the midlands
F
G7
C
With their forty shades of green
F
G7
But most of all I miss a girl
C
G7
C
In Tipperary Town
F
G7
And most of all I miss her lips
C
G7
As soft as eiderdown
C
Again I want to see and do
F
The things we’ve done and seen
C
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
F
G7
C
And there’s forty shades of green
F
At Dublin’s churning surf
C
I’d love to watch the farmers
D7
G7
Drain the bogs and spade the turf
C
To see again the thatching
F
Of the straw the women glean
C
I’d walk from Cork to Lian
F
G7
C
To see the forty shades of green
F
G7
But most of all I miss a girl
C
G7
C
In Tipperary Town
F
G7
And most of all I miss her lips
C
G7
As soft as eiderdown
C
Again I want to see and do
F
The things we’ve done and seen
C
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
F
G7
C
And there’s forty shades of green
