Thread Name: Chords Req: My Heart's Tonight in Ireland (Irvine)
Subject: Tune/Chords Add: MY HEART'S TONIGHT IN TEXAS
Unless I have a completely different version of My Heart's Tonight in TEXAS, they are totally unrelated, nothing alike whatsoever. Here's the version I have for the Texas song:

X:1
T:My Heart's Tonight in Texas
C:
L:1/8
Q:240
M:4/4
K:C
z6 G3/2A/ | BB BA Bd dB | AG GE G2 G3/2A/ | BB BA Bd2d | dB GB A2 G3/2A/ | BB BA Bd dB | \
AG GE G2 G3/2G/ | AA AA B3A | GG/G/ EE G4 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | \
z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | z8 | \


The chords posted above seem to fit in with this version very well.
Here's My Hearts's tonight in IRELAND, straight out of Andy's Irvine's songbook, "Aiming for the Heart":

X:1

There's nothing similar about them at all. So I doubt very much that he took one to make the other (unless there's another version of the Texas song, which is possible).

And John, here are the chords (again, out of Andy's book) in case you are still looking for them:

Verse:
| F | F | Bb | C |
|Bb F | F | C | C |
| C | F | Dm | Dm |
| Bb | F | F |Dm C | F |

Chorus:
| F | F | Bb | C |
| Bb | F |Dm C | Bb |
| Bb | Am | Am | Dm |
| C | F | F |Dm C | F |
