Johnny Cash - Forty shades of green

^F I close my eyes and picture the ^Femerald of the sea, From the ^Ffishing boats at Dingle, To the ^D7shores of Donagha ^G-dea; I ^Fmiss the River Shannon, And the ^Ffolks at Skibbereen, The ^Fmoorlands and the meadows With their ^Gforty shades of ^Fgreen.

But ^Fmost of all I miss a girl in ^FTipperary town. And ^Fmost of all I miss her ^Flips, As ^D7soft as eider-^Gdown; ^FAgain I want to see and do The ^Fthings we've done and seen, With the ^Fbreeze as sweet as shalamar, And there's ^Gforty shades of ^Fgreen.

At ^FDublin's churning surf, I'd ^Flove to watch the farmers drain The ^D7bogs and spade the ^Gturf; To ^Fsee again the thatches Of the ^Fstraw the women glean; I'd ^Fwalk from Cork to Laren to see The ^Gforty shades of ^Fgreen.
