Forty Shades Of Green Chords by Hank Locklin

_ I close my eyes and picture _ [Ab] the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats [Eb] at Dingle to [F] the shores of [Fm] Dunedin
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] I miss the river Shannon and [Ab] the folk at _ _ Skilferry
The Midlands and [Eb] the _ Moorlands with [Bb] their forty [Eb] shades of _ green _ _ _
[Ab] But most of [Bb] all _ _ [Eb] I miss the [Bb] river Shannon and the folk at Skilferry
[Eb] _ And _ _ most of [Bbm] all I [Ab] miss the river Shannon and the folk at Skilferry
Her arm [Eb] and hair so [Bb] long and brown
[Eb] Again I want to see and view [Ab] the things we've done and seen
Where the breezes [Eb] speed as Shalimar _ [Bb] and there's forty _ [Eb] shades of green _
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ wish that I could spend an hour [Ab] at Dublin's Churning Surf
_ I'd love to watch [Eb] the farmers [F] mend the bugs and [Ab] spade the [Bb] turf
[Eb] To see _ again the thatching [Ab] of the straw the women gleam
I'd walk from [Eb] court to lorn to see [Bb] the forty [Eb] _
shades of green _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] Most _ of all [Bb] _ I miss the girl [Eb] in _ [Bb] _ [Eb] Pipperary town
And most of [Bb] all I miss [Ab] her lips [Eb] as soft as [Bb] cider down
[Eb] Again I want to see and view [Ab] the things we've done and seen
Where the breezes speed [Eb] as Shalimar and [Bb] there's forty _ [Eb] shades of green _ _
