Carrickfergus

Verse 1

[G]I wish I[Am]was [D]in Carrick-[G]fergus[/F# Em ]

Only for[Am]nights [(D]in[C)]Bally-[G]grant,

[G]I would swim[Am]over [D]the deepest[G]ocean,[/F# Em ]

Only for[Am]nights [(D]in[C)]Bally-[G]grant,

But the sea is[G]wide and I cannot cross[D]over

And neither[Em]have I[C] the wings to[D]fly

I wish I could[Am]meet [D]a handsome[G]boatsman,[/F# Em ]

To ferry me[Am]over, [(D]my[C)]love to[G]find.

Verse 2

[G]But in Kil-[Am]kenny, [D]it is re-[G]ported,[/F# Em ],

On marble[Am]stones there [(D]as[C]}black as[G]ink.

[G]With gold and[Am]silver [D]I would sup-[G]port her,[/F# Em ]

But I´ll sing no[Am]more now [(D]till I[C)]get a[G]drink,

For I'm drunk to-[G]day, and I'm seldom[D]sober,

A handsome[Em]rover [C]from town to[D]town,

Ah, but I'm[Am]sick now, [D]my days are[G]numbered, [/F# Em ]

Come all you[Am]young men [D]and[C]lay me[G]down.
