Thin Lizzy - Dublin
From the "New Day" EP (1971)
Written by Phil Lynott
Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
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.
       AmBmGAm
Intro:     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
Dsus2A
 - 
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...
AmBmGAm
    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]
