Album: Thin Lizzy (1971)
Written by Phil Lynott

Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)

The whole song is just these chords fingerpicked on an acoustic. 
Simple and very beautiful...

Intro: Am Bm G Am x3

EAfter (022100@1)our affair
F#m (244222@1)     
I swore 
AThat (x02220@1)I'd leave Dublin
Cmaj7/G
And in that line I'd left behind
The years, the tears, the memories 
    AAnd (x02220@1)you, in Dublin

EAt (022100@1)the quays 
F#mFriends (244222@1)come 
   ATo (x02220@1)say farewell
   Cmaj7/G
We'd laugh and joke and smoke
And later on the boat
    AI'd (x02220@1)cry over you

Dsus2 - A
How can I 
BmLeave (x24432@1)the town that brings me down
That has no jobs
   Bm/A
Is blessed by God
And makes me cry
ADublin... (x02220@1)
Am Bm G Am x3

EAnd (022100@1)at sea 
 F#m
With flowing hair
  AI'd (x02220@1)think of Dublin
   Cmaj7/G
Of Grafton Street and Derby Square
And those of whom I care
    AAnd (x02220@1)you, in Dublin
   Cmaj7/G
And you, in Dublin

[Ends with a gently finger-picked E major]

Cmaj7/G:
