D                     G5      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                       G5      D 
But here I sit in Dublin 
      A  
Just rollin' cigarettes 
D 
Holdin' back and chokin' back 
      G                D 
The shakes with every breath 
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 though  
   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 
 
 
I am just a poor boy 
Work's my middle name 
If money was a reason 
I would not be the same 
 
I'll stand up and be counted 
I'll face up to the truth 
I'll walk away from trouble 
But I can't walk away from you 
 
I have been to Fort Worth 
I have been to Spain 
I have been to proud 
To come in out of the rain 
 
I have seen the David 
I've seen the Mona Lisa too 
I have heard Doc Watson 
Play Columbus Stockade Blues 
 
Repeat Chorus  
 
D                     G5      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
