Version 1G C I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea, G From the fishing boats at Dingle, A7 D To the shores of Donagha -dea; G I miss the River Shannon, C And the folks at Skibbereen, G The moorlands and the meadows D G With their forty shades of green. Chorus: C But most of all I miss a girl in G Tipperary town. C G And most of all I miss her lips, A7 D As soft as eider-down; G Again I want to see and do C The things we've done and seen, G With the breeze as sweet as shalamar, D G And there's forty shades of green. I wish that I could spend an hour C At Dublin's churning surf, G I'd love to watch the farmers drain A7 D The bogs and spade the turf; G To see again the thatches C Of the straw the women glean; G I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see D G The forty shades of green.
