Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E

Dunnes Stores (Unknown) – [4/4] – Key = F, Capo 5 Note: Each measure "| |" is 4 beats. Measure with two chords given, e.g. | A B | is the equivalent of | A / B / |. Use of the % instructs how many times to repeat the preceding measure, so | Am | % x3 | is the equivalent of 4 measures of Am. Also, I'm not 100% confident on the penultimate measure of the verse, | Em E |. There may be something else going on there, but this is close enough. I don't have the intro either, but vamping on Am will more than suffice. Verse: | Am | % x3 | Dm Am | % | Am C | Em E | E | Chorus: | Am | Em | Am C | Em Am | Am | % | ------------------------------------------------------------------
