INTRO: Dm
 
              C
Met a girl in Leningrad
    Dm              A7
She wasn't bad, and I might add
  Bb              A              D
I found it such a pleasure to be near her
        G       A        D
Just to hear her call my name
           G  F#m
She was so fair
Em             A            D
She wore Irish linen in her hair
 
 
Dm               C
She lived in the valley wide
  Dm            A7
A country ride, from my side
Bb              A                D
I spent most of my time thinking of her
      G        A        D
How I loved her, such a shame
        G  F#m
I'm not there
   Em              A            D
To touch the Irish linen in her hair
 
 
CHORUS:
 
Irish linen
G            D
Memories not bad
          Em           A
Green and red make me sad
D 
Irish linen
G             D
I would be so glad
          Em
Green and red
             A              D
I could have had her for my own
