Chords

From the "New Day" EP (1971) Written by Phil Lynott Transcribed by Jon Malmin ([email protected]) The whole song is just these chords fingerpicked on an acoustic. Simple and very beautiful... At the bottom, you can see how each chord looks. Intro: Am Bm G Am x3

E
After our affair

F#m       
I swore 

A
That I'd leave Dublin

Cmaj7/G
And in that line I'd left behind

The years, the tears, the memories

    A
And you, in Dublin

E
At the quays 

F#m
Friends come 

   A
To say farewell

   Cmaj7/G
We'd laugh and joke and smoke

And later on the boat

    A
I'd cry over you

Dsus2 - A
How can I 

Bm
Leave the town that brings me down

That has no jobs

   Bm/A
Is blessed by God

And makes me cry

A
Dublin...

Am Bm G Am x3

E
And at sea 

 F#m
With flowing hair

  A
I'd think of Dublin

   Cmaj7/G
Of Grafton Street and Derby Square

And those of whom I care

    A
And you, in Dublin

   Cmaj7/G
And you, in Dublin

[Ends with a gently finger-picked E major]
