[Verse 1]
        D5                 G    Asus4 D5
Well, I wished I was in Austin, m____mm
                    A/E
In the Chili Parlor Bar
            D5
Drinkin' Mad  Dog Margaritas
        G                   D5
And not carin' where you are
D5                   G     D5
But here I sit in Dublin, mmm
                       A
Just rollin' cigarettes
D5
Holdin' back and chokin' back
          G                 D5
The shakes with every breath

[Chorus]
      A
So forgive me all my anger
   D5
Forgive me all my faults
        A
There's no need to forgive me
    D5
For thinkin' what I thought
  A
I loved you from the get go
         D5
And I'll love you till I die
  A
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
       G                D5
The day you said goodbye

[Verse 2]
D5              G      D5
I am just a poor boy, mmm
                     A/E
And work's my middle name
   D5
If money was a reason
        G                    D5
Well, I would not be the same
                         G         D5
And I'll stand up and be counted, mmm
                         A
I'll face up to the truth
     D5
I'll walk away from trouble
            G              D5
But I can't walk away from you

[Chorus]
      A
So forgive me all my anger
   D5
Forgive me all my faults
        A
There's no need to forgive me
    D5
For thinkin' what I thought
  A
I loved you from the get go
         D5
And I'll love you till I die
  A
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
       G                D5
The day you said goodbye

[Verse 3]
D5             G            D5
I have been to Fort Worth, mmm
                        A
And I have been to Spain
    D5
And I have been too proud
        G                 D5
To come in out of the rain
                      G     D5
And I have seen the David, mmm
                        A
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
    D5
And I have heard Doc Watson
          G           D5
Play Columbus Stockade  Blues

[Chorus]
   A
Forgive me all my anger
   D5
Forgive me all my faults
        A
There's no need to forgive me
    D5
For thinkin' what I thought
  A
I loved you from the get go
         D5
And I'll love you till I die
  A
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
       G                D5
The day you said goodbye

In the Chili Parlor Bar
            D5
Drinkin' Mad  Dog Margaritas
