Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  wish I was in Austin
 In the Chili Parlour  Bar
 Drinkin' Mad  Dog Margaritas
 And not carin'  where you are
But  here I sit in Dublin||
   -i
 Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin'  back and chokin' back
 The shakes  with every breath
Forgive  me all my anger
 Forgive  me all my faults
 There's no  need to forgive me
 For thinkin'  what I though
 I loved  you from the git go
 I'll love  you till I die
 I loved  you on the Spanish steps
 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 and end with the first verse again.
 and that's all there is to it
