Have a whiskey and a cigarette first...


   E            A                         E
I wish I was in Austin

       B                                            
In some Chili Parlour Bar 
           E
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas  
           A                 E
And not carin' where you are



      E           A                  E
But here I sit in Dublin

       B 
Just rollin' cigarettes
E
Holdin' back and chokin' back
       A                   E
The shakes with every breath



Chorus:

     B
Forgive me all my anger
    E 
Forgive me all my faults
        B      
There's no need to forgive me
     E    
For thinkin' what I though
  B  
I loved you from the git go
    E    
I'll love you till I die
  B  
I loved you on the Spanish steps
       A               E
The day you said goodbye



               
I am just a poor boy

Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same



I'll stand up and be counted

I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you


(Repeat chorus)


I have been to Fort Worth

I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rain



I have seen the David

I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues


Repeat chorus and end with the first verse again.
