Johnny Cash – Forty Shades Of Green (Ukulele)

F                                F
 I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea, 

               F
      From the fishing boats at Dingle, 

             D7                G
      To the shores of Donagha -dea; 

        F
      I miss the River Shannon, 

              F
      And the folks at Skibbereen, 

          F
      The moorlands and the meadows 

                 G               F
      With their forty shades of green. 

           F
       But most of all I miss a girl in 

       F
       Tipperary town. 

           F                      F
       And most of all I miss her lips, 

          D7            G
       As soft as eider-down; 

       F
       Again I want to see and do 

           F
       The things we've done and seen, 

                F
       With the breeze as sweet as shalamar, 

                    G               F
        And there's forty shades of green. 

         F
      At Dublin's churning surf, 

          F
      I'd love to watch the farmers drain  

         D7                 G
     The bogs and spade the turf; 

        F
     To see again the thatches  

            F
     Of the straw the women glean; 

         F
     I'd walk from Cork to Laren to see 

         G               F
     The forty shades of green.
