Dublin Blues (Mad Dog Margaritas)
Guy Clark, 1995· Songs Well-Known in America · p.89
D G D A
I wish I was in Austin in the Chili Parlor Bar
D G D
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas and not carin' where you are
D G D A
But here I sit in Dublin just rollin' cigarettes
D G D
Holdin' back and chokin' back the shakes with every breath
CHORUS:
A D
Forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults
A D
There's no need to forgive me for thinkin ' what I thought
A D
I loved you from the git go, and I'll love you till I die
A G D
I loved you on the Spanish steps the day you said goodbye
D G D A
I am just a poor boy, work's my middle name
D G D
If money was a reason I would not be the same
D G D A
I'll stand up and be counted, I'll face up to the truth
D G D
I'll walk away from trouble, but I can't walk away from you (Chorus)
(Instrumental)
D G D A
I have been to Fort Worth I have been to Spain
D G D
I have been too proud to come in out of the rain
D G D A
I have seen the David I've seen the Mona Lisa too
D G D
I have heard Doc Watson play Columbus Stockade Blues (Chorus)
Outro: (First verse, fading)
