Forty Shades of Green

<p>[Chorus 1]<br/>Green, green, forty shades of green<br/><br/>[Verse 1]<br/>I close my eyes and picture<br/>The emerald of the sea<br/>From the fishing boats at Dingle<span><br/>To the shores of Donaghadee<span><br/>I miss the river Shannon<br/>And the folks at Skibbereen<br/>The moorlands and the meddle<br/>With their forty shades of green<br/><br/>[Pre-Chorus 2]<br/>But most of all I miss a girl<br/>In Tipperary town<br/>And most of all I miss her lips<br/>As soft as eiderdown<br/>[Chorus 2]<br/>Again I want to see and do<br/>The things we&#x27;ve done and seen<br/>Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar<br/>And there&#x27;s forty shades of green<br/><br/>[Chorus 1]<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>I wish that I could spend an hour<br/>At Dublin&#x27;s churching surf<br/>I&#x27;d love to watch the farmers<br/>Drain the bogs and spade the turf<span><br/>To see again the thatching<br/>Of the straw the women glean<span><br/>I&#x27;d walk from Cork to Larne to see<br/>The forty shades of green<span><br/><br/>[Pre-Chorus 2]<br/><br/>[Chorus 2]
