Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x3
After  our affair
I  swore
That  I'd leave Dublin
And  in that line I'd left behind
 The years, the tears, the memories
 And you,  in Dublin
At  the quays
Friends  come
 To say  farewell
 We'd  laugh and joke and smoke
 And later on the boat
 I'd cry  over you
How  can I
Leave  the town that brings me down
 That has no jobs
 Is blessed  by God
 And makes me cry
Dublin...
 x3
And  at sea
 With  flowing hair
 I'd  think of Dublin
 Of Grafton  Street and Derby Square
 And those of whom I care
 And you,  in Dublin
 And  you, in Dublin
