--Guy Clark is the man.
--This is the title track from the Dublin Blues CD
--Townes Van Zandt also cut a version of this song.
--Nothing fancy-
thanks LFabela you did a great job on this tab,
just wanted to add the chords in all places to make it easier
to follow. I play this using a quick change trigger
capo on the second fret, just covering all the strings
but the first string (low e) to achieve a modified
drop D tuning. So I can play it using standard tuning.
Saw Guy Clark do this in a youtube video.
D G(add5) D
I wish I was in Austin
A
In the Chili Parlour Bar
D
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
G D
And not carin' where you are
D G(add5) D
But here I sit in Dublin||
A -i
Just rollin' cigarettes
D
Holdin' back and chokin' back
G D
The shakes with every breath
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 git go
D
I'll love you till I die
A
I loved you on the Spanish steps
G D
The day you said goodbye
D G(add5) D
I am just a poor boy
A
Work's my middle name
D
If money was a reason
G D
I would not be the same
D G(add5) D
I'll stand up and be counted
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
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 git go
D
I'll love you till I die
A
I loved you on the Spanish steps
G D
The day you said goodbye
D G(add5) D
I have been to Fort Worth
A
I have been to Spain
D
I have been to proud
G D
To come in out of the rain

Play Columbus Stockade Blues

The day you said goodbye
