Forty Shades Of Green Chords by Johnny Cash

[C] _ _ _ _ [G] Waves, _ waves,
[Am] Carly, [D] shades [G] of blue. _
_ _ _ _ I close my eyes and picture
_ [C] The emerald of the sea.
_ From the fishing boats [G] that dingle
To [A] the shores of [Bm] Dunedin.
_ _ [G] I miss the river Shannon,
_ [C] And the folks at Skibbereen.
_ The moorlands and [G] the meadows
_ [D] With their forty shades [G] of green.
_ _ [C] But most of all [D] I miss a girl
[G] In Tipperary town.
_ _ [Cm] And most of all [D] I miss [Gb] her lips
[G] As soft as [D] cider down.
_ _ [G] Again I want to see and do
[C] The things we've done and seen.
Where the breeze is sweet [G] as shalimar
And [D] there's forty shades [G] of green.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [G] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I wish that I could spend an hour
[Db] At Dublin's churning surf. _
I'd love to watch the [Ab] farmers
Drain [Bb] the bogs and spade [Eb] the turf. _
[Ab] To see again the thatching
[Db] Of the straw the women glean. _
I'd walk from court [Ab] to larn
To see [Eb] the forty shades [Ab] of green. _
_ [Db] But most of [Cm] all I miss [G] a girl
[Ab] In Tipperary town. _
_ [Db] And most of [Cm] all I miss [G] her lips
[Ab] As soft as cider [Eb] down. _
_ [Ab] _ Again I want to see and do
[Db] The things we've done and seen.
Where the breeze is sweet [Ab] as shalimar
_ [Bbm] And there's forty _ [Cm] _
[Gm] shades _ of [Ab] green. _ _
