Carrickfergus

[Intro]  D  Em  A  D  Bm  Em  A


D        Em  A             D     Bm
I wish I was,   in Carrickfergus
         Em     A         D
Only for nights, in Ballygrant
             Em  A            D  
I would swim over the deepest 
   Bm
ocean
            Em   A               D
The deepest ocean to be by your side

        A      D    Bm           
But the sea is wide and I can't 
      A
swim over
             D  Bm     G        A
And nor have I    the wings to fly
           Em      A       D      
If I could find me a handy boatman
 Bm

            Em  A               D
To ferry me over to my love and die

              Em  A              
My childhood days bring back sad 
D           Bm
reflections
         Em  A              D
Of happy time spend so long ago.
               Em  A        
My boyhood friends and my own 
      D     Bm
relations
                Em  A             
Have all passed on like the 
   D
melting snow

     A        D    Bm          A
I'll spend my days in endless roving
             D  Bm       G      A
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
         Em      A           D    
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus
 Bm

            Em       A             
On the long road down to the salty 
D
sea

           Em  A          D    Bm
And in Kilkenny it is reported
         Em    A            D
On marble stone as black as ink
              Em    A         D  
With gold and silver I did 
      Bm
support her
                 Em      A        
But I'll sing no more now till I 
     D
get a drink

        A       D   Bm      
For I'm drunk today    and I'm 
           A
rarely sober
           D  Bm       G       A
A handsome rover from town to town
            Em      A             
Oh but I am sick now and my days 
    D       Bm
are numbered
                Em     A          
So come on ye young men and lay me
  D
 down
