[Verse 1]
         Dm  G         C      Am
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
         Dm    G   F    C
Only for nights in Ballygrant
             Dm  G            C  
I could swim over the deepest 
   Am
ocean
            Dm    G      F       
The deepest ocean for my love to 
C
find


[Verse 2]
        C      Am         F      
But the sea is wide and I can't 
    G
swim over
       Am     C     F  G
Nor do I have wings to fly
           Dm      G        
If I could find me a handsome 
  C
boatsman
Continues after the ad
            Dm   G      F        C
To ferry me over, to my love and die


[Verse 3]
             Dm  G           C
My childhood days bring back sad 
     Am
reflections
         Dm   G      F     C
Of happy times spent long ago
             Dm     G       C
My childhood friends and my own 
     Am
relations
                Dm    G     F    
Have all passed on now like 
   C
melting snow


[Verse 4]
         C        Am      F       
But I'll spend my days in endless 
G
roaming
            Am   C       F      G
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
          Dm      G          C
But to be back now in Carrickfergus
             Dm   G    F      C
On that long road down to the sea


[Verse 4]
         C        Am      F       
But I'll spend my days in endless 
G
roaming
            Am   C       F      G
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
          Dm      G          C
But to be back now in Carrickfergus
             Dm   G    F      C
On that long road down to the sea
             Dm   G    F      C
On that long road down to the sea
