Dublin Blues chords by Guy Clark

Chords with lyrics

Have a whiskey and a cigarette first...

E MajorE      A augmentedA             E MajorE
I wish I was in Austin

BB
In some Chili Parlour Bar
      E MajorE
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
      A augmentedA         E MajorE
And not carin' where you are


E MajorE      A augmentedA         E MajorE
But here I sit in Dublin

BB
Just rollin' cigarettes
E MajorE
Holdin' back and chokin' back
    A augmentedA          E MajorE
The shakes with every breath

Chorus:

BB
Forgive me all my anger
  E MajorE
Forgive me all my faults
    BB
There's no need to forgive me
   E MajorE
For thinkin' what I though
 BB
I loved you from the git go
  E MajorE
I'll love you till I die
 BB
I loved you on the Spanish steps
    A augmentedA        E MajorE
The day you said goodbye


I am just a poor boy

Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same

I'll stand up and be counted

I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you

(Repeat chorus)

I have been to Fort Worth

I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rain


I have seen the David

I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues

Repeat chorus and end with the first verse again.
