Forty Shades Of Green - Johnny Cash

[Intro]
[C] [G] [D7] [G]

Verse 1:
[G] I close my eyes and picture the [C] emerald of the sea,
From the [G] fishing boats at Dingle,
To the [A7] shores of Donagha[D]-dea;
I [G] miss the River Shannon,
And the [C] folks at Skibbereen,
The [G] moorlands and the meadows
With their [D] forty shades of [G] green.

Verse 2:
I wish that I could spend an hour
At [C] Dublin's churning surf,
I'd [G] love to watch the farmers drain
The [A7] bogs and spade the [D] turf;
To [G] see again the thatches
Of the [C] straw the women glean;
I'd [G] walk from Cork to Larne to see
The [D] forty shades of [G] green.

[Outro]
With the [G] breeze as sweet as shalamar,
And there's [D] forty shades of [G] green.
