I [C]close my eyes and picture
the [F]emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at [C]Dingle
To the [D7]shores of Duna’ [G7]dee
I [C]miss the river Shannon
and the [F]folks at Skipparee
The moorlands and the [C]meadows
With their [G7]forty shades of  [C]green


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
But [F]most of all I [G7]miss a girl
In [C]Tipperary Town
And [F]most of all I [G7]miss her lips
As [C]soft as eider-[G7]down
[C]Again I want to see and do
The [F]things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as [C]Shalimar
And there's [G7]forty shades of [C]green

I [C]wish that I could spend an hour
At [F]Dublin's churning surf
I'd love to watch the [C]farmers
Drain the [D7]bogs and spade the [G7]turf
To [C]see again the thatching
Of the [F]straw the women glean
I would walk from Cork to [C]Lian
To see the [G7]forty shades of [C]green


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
But [F]most of all I [G7]miss a girl
In [C]Tipperary Town
And [F]most of all I [G7]miss her lips
As [C]soft as eider-[G7]down
[C]Again I want to see and do
The [F]things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as [C]Shalimar
And there's [G7]forty shades of [C]green [F]↓   [C]↓
