'Dublin In My Tears' by Dublin City Ramblers - Guitar Tutorial

            I have travelled many lands, and I still don't understand 
C Am D  
How sad you have become on my return  
G  
Your poor heart is filled with care,
sad and old they left you there  
D D7 G 
Your once bright eyes with sorrow softly burn  
C G  
I can even sense the change in the sound of childrens games 
D D7 G G7 
And the dreams of youth's ambitions 
have all turned to doubt and fear  
C G  
It's an age of wealth Im told but I've never felt so old 
D D7 G  
As I recall old Dublin in my tears  
G  
All the faces that I meet as I roam each one way street  
C Am D  
Reflect the empty statements of our time  
G 
And the old cathedral bell can't be heard above the swell  
D D7 G  
For the years erased the message in her chimes 
C G  
All my childhood friends are gone,like the street where I was born 
D D7 G G7  
And the time that it has taken doesn't seem so long ago 
C G  
They have faded in the gloom like 'Sap Kelly' from the Coombe  
D D7 G  
Like the ghost of dear old Dublin in my tears.  
G  
There were times when jobs were few,
there were hungry days we knew  
C Am D  
Some days so bad their memory I've cursed  
G  
And the prayer I said to God,there on board the Princess Maud  
D D7 G  
That our children would restore the pride we lost  
C G  
But the past we all forsake while we're dancing at her wake  
D D7 G G7  
And the heart of Dublin's dying,but no body seems to care,  
C G  
And the fools as they pass by,laugh to see an old man cry  
D D7 G  
But I can't forget old Dublin in my tears  
G  
Gather round brave men and true, though our numbers may be few  
C Am D  
And we'll drink a toast before I cross the foam 
G  
For soon in London's dark domain,I'll recall how I became  
D D7 G  
No more a stranger there, than here at home  
C G  
But the liffey flows along and I listen for her song 
D D7 G G7  
And the voice of young James Larkin seems to echo in my ears  
C G  
But its just the rafters ring,to it's requiem I'll sing  
D D7 G  
Farewell to dear old Dublin in my tears, 
D D7 C G
...Farewell to dear old Dublin in my tears...
