Dublin Blues
View chords used in this chart
D G5 D
I wish I was in Austin
A
In the Chili Parlour Bar
D
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
G D
And not carin' where you are
D G5 D
But here I sit in Dublin
A
Just rollin' cigarettes
D
Holdin' back and chokin' back
G D
The shakes with every breath
[Refrão]A
Forgive me all my anger
D
Forgive me all my faults
A
There's no need to forgive me
D
For thinkin' what I though
A
I loved you from the git go
D
I'll love you till I die
A
I loved you on the Spanish steps
G D
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
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
D G5 D
I wish I was in Austin
A
In the Chili Parlour Bar
D
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
G D
And not carin' where you are
