Thin Lizzy - Dublin
From the "New Day" EP (1971)
Written by Phil Lynott

Tuning: Standard E
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: x3
After our affair
I swore
That I'd leave Dublin
And in that line I'd left behind
The years, the tears, the memories
And you, in Dublin
At the quays
Friends come
To say farewell
We'd laugh and joke and smoke
And later on the boat
I'd cry over you
-
How can I
Leave the town that brings me down
That has no jobs
Is blessed by God
And makes me cry
Dublin...
x3
And at sea
With flowing hair
I'd think of Dublin
Of Grafton Street and Derby Square
And those of whom I care
And you, in Dublin
And you, in Dublin
[Ends with a gently finger-picked E major]
