Forty Shades Of Green Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[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 Donagha [D] -dea;
I [G]miss the River Shannon,
And the [C]folks at Skibbereen,
The [G]moorlands and the meadows
With their [D]forty shades of [G]green.

[CHORUS]
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 eider-[D]down;
[G]Again I want to see and do
The [C]things we've done and seen,
With the [G]breeze as sweet as shalamar,
And there's [D]forty shades of [G]green.

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 Laren to see
The [D]forty shades of [G]green.

[CHORUS]
