Summer In Dublin

  (Liam Reilly, Bagatelle)

Am          Asus        Am
Take me away from the city
F                 G           Am
Lead me to where I can be on my own
Am                      Asus        Am
I wanted to see you but now that I have
F                 G           Am
I just want to be left alone  
G                             C
I'll always remember your kind words  
Dm7                           E (E7)
And I'll still remember your name 
Am                            F
But I've seen you changing and turning
      G                             Am
And I know that things won't be the same

Pre Chorus  G F C G

C           G                 Am
I remember that summer in Dublin 
F                             C
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell 
Dm                                        Am7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Dm                      G
And everyone looking so well 
C           G                 Am
I was singing a song I heard somewhere 
F                             C
Called rock and roll never forgets 
Dm                            Am7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A 
Dm                            G
And the scream of the low flying jets 
C                 G           Am
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire 
F                             C
Stopping off to pick up my guitar 
Dm                                  Am7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich 
F                 G           Am
I was glad we weren't going to far

Am          Asus        Am
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning 
F                 G                 Am
Trying to find a place where I can hear
Am                      Asus              Am
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks 
F                 G           Am
And the open road is always near 
G                             C
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet 
Dm7                           E (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill 
Am                            F                
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb 
G                                   Am
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
