Summer in Dublin (video)

Em - C - D - Bm - Em

Em

1. Take me away from the city,

C D Em

lead me to where I can be on my own.

Em

I wanted to see you, but now that I have,

C D Em

I just want to be left alone.

C D G

I'll always remember your kind words,

Am B7

and I still remember your name.

Em A

But I've seen you changing and turning,

C D Em - D

and I know that things just won't be the same.

D7 G D Em

I remember that summer in Dublin,

C G

and the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell.

Am Em

And the young people walking on Grafton Street,

Am D

everyone looking so well.

D7 G D Em

I was singing a song I heard somewhere

C G

called ’Rock and roll never forgets !’

Am Em

When my humming was smothered by the 46A

Am D

and the scream of the low flying jets.

D7 G D Em

So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire,

C G

stopping off to pick up my guitar,

Am Em

when a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich,

Am D

I was glad we weren't going to far.

Em

2. So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning

C D Em

trying to find a place where I can hear

Em

the wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks,

C D Em

and my open roads always are near.

C D G

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet

Am B7

and I want to walk back up that hill,

Em A

I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb,

C D Em - D

and I know that you'll be there still !

+ CHORUS
