Johnny Cash - Forty Shades Of Green guitar chord

FORTY SHADES OF GREEN

-- 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
