Forty Shades Of Green - Johnny Cash [Intro] [C] [G] [D7] [G] Verse 1: [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. Verse 2: 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. |[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. [Outro] With the [G] breeze as sweet as shalamar, And there's [D] forty shades of [G] green.
