The whole song is just these chords fingerpicked on an acoustic.

Intro: A minorAm B minorBm G+G A minorAm x3

E MajorE
After our affair
F# minorF#m
I swore
A augmentedA
That I'd leave Dublin
Cmaj7/G
And in that line I'd left behind
The years, the tears, the memories
  A augmentedA
And you, in Dublin

E MajorE
At the quays
F# minorF#m
Friends come
  A augmentedA
To say farewell
  Cmaj7/G
We'd laugh and joke and smoke
And later on the boat
  A augmentedA
I'd cry over you

Dsus2Dsus2 - A augmentedA
How can I
B minorBm
Leave the town that brings me down
That has no jobs
  Bm/ABm/A
Is blessed by God
And makes me cry
A augmentedA
Dublin...

A minorAm B minorBm G+G A minorAm x3

E MajorE
And at sea
 F# minorF#m
With flowing hair
 A augmentedA
I'd think of Dublin
  Cmaj7/G
Of Grafton Street and Derby Square
And those of whom I care
  A augmentedA
And you, in Dublin
  Cmaj7/G
And you, in Dublin

[Ends with a gently finger-picked E MajorE major]
