[Verse 1]
G                                D
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
  Em           C             G        D
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
       G                               D
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Chorus]
G                  D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
                   D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G   G   G   G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Verse 2]
G                     D
She was a fishmonger, sure it was no wonder
Em         C          G          D
So was her father and mother before
         G                                  D
And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Chorus]
G                  D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
                   D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Verse 3]
G                    D
She died of a fever, no one could save her
    Em           C            G        D
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
        G                               D
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Chorus]
G                  D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
                   D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Outro]
G                  D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
                   D
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
       Em          C        D           C   C   C   C   G   G
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O-O-O-O-O........!
