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
