Carrickfergus

         Bm  E          A     
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
F#m         Bm  E           A D A
 only for nights in Ballygrant
             Bm   E            A 
I would swim over the deepest 
   F#m            Bm    E      A D A
ocean, only for nights in Ballygrant
     E          A  F#m           
But the sea is wide and I cannot 
     E              A   F#m D   
swim over, neither have I the 
     E
wings to fly
A      Bm      E           A    
I must find me a handsome 
  F#m           Bm  E            
boatman to ferry me over to my 
   A
love and die

         Bm  E          A     
My childhood days bring back 
F#m         Bm  E               
sweet reflections The happy 
                  A D A
times I spent so long ago
             Bm   E       
My boyhood friends and kind 
     A    F#m            Bm    E
relations have all past on now 
                 A D A
like melting snow
     E          A  F#m           
I'll spend my days an endless 
     E              A   F#m D   
rover soft is the grass and 
     E
sure, my bed is free
A      Bm      E           A    
Oh but to be back, in 
  F#m                   Bm  E    
carrickfergus to strike that 
              A
lonely road, down by the sea

[Verse 3]
         Bm  E          A     
And in kilkenny it is reported
F#m         Bm  E               
 on marble stone there as black 
     A D A
as ink
             Bm   E            A 
With gold and silver I would 
   F#m            Bm    E        
support her but I'll sing no more
                 A D A
 now til I get a drink
     E          A  F#m           
For I'm drunk today and I'm 
     E              A   F#m D   
seldom sobera handsome rover 
     E
from town to town
A      Bm      E           A    
Ah but I'm sick now my days are 
  F#m           Bm  E            
numbered come all ye young men 
            A
and lay me down
