[Verse 1]
D G D
Well, I wished I was in Austin, mmm-mmm
D A D
In the Chili Parlour Bar drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
G D
And not carin' where you are
D G D
But here I sit in Dublin, mmm-mmm
D A
Just rollin' cigarettes
D
Holdin' back and chokin' back
G D
The shakes with every breath
[Chorus]
A
So, forgive me all my anger
D
Forgive me all my faults
A
There's no need to forgive me
D
For thinkin' what I thought
A
I loved you from the get go
D
And I'll love you till I die
A
I loved you on the Spanish steps
G D
The day you said goodbye
[Verse 2]
D G D
Now I am just a poor boy, mmm-mmm
D A D
Work's my middle name, if money was a reason
G D
Well, I would not be the same
D G D
I'll stand up and be counted, mmm-mmm
D A
I'll face up to the truth
D
I'll walk away from trouble
G D
But I can't walk away from you
[Chorus]
A
So forgive me all my anger
D
Forgive me all my faults
A
There's no need to forgive me
D
For thinkin' what I thought
A
I loved you from the get go
D
And I'll love you till I die
A
I loved you on the Spanish steps
G D
The day you said goodbye

[Verse 3]
D G D
I have been to Fort Worth, mmm-mmm
D A D
And I have been to Spain, and I have been too proud
G D
To come in out of the rain
D G D
And I have seen the David, mmm-mmm
D A
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
D G D
And I have heard Doc Watson play Columbus Stockade Blues
[Chorus]
A
Forgive me all my anger
D
Forgive me all my faults
A
There's no need to forgive me
D
For thinkin' what I thought
A
I loved you from the get go
D
And I'll love you till I die
A
I loved you on the Spanish steps
G D
The day you said goodbye
[Outro]

Well, I wished I was in Austin, mmm-mmm
