Carrickfergus

Am         Dm            G     Am
I wished I had you in Carrick fergus
           Dm           G7     C
Only for nights in the Bally grand
Am           Dm         G      Am
I would swim over the deepest ocean
             Dm         G       C
The deepest ocean to be by your side

[Chorus]
         G      C           Dm   
But the sea is wide, and I can't 
      G
swim over
             C       Dm      G
And neither have I wings to fly
Am              Dm         
I wish I could find me a handy 
G     Am
boatman
             Dm         G        C
To ferry me over to my love and die

Am            Dm              G 
My childhood days bring back sad
    Am
 reflections
          Dm       G    C
Of happy days, so long ago
Am           Dm            
My boyhood friends and my own 
G     Am
relations
                Dm         G   
Have all passed on, like melting 
   C
snow

[Chorus]
     G             C        Dm   
So, I'll spend my days in endless
   G
 roving
              C          Dm      G
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Am         Dm            G     Am
Oh, to be home now in Carrick fergus
                  Dm G            
On the long road down to the salty
  C
 sea

[Verse 3]
Am        Dm       G     Am
And in Kilkenny it is reported
           Dm             G       
On marble stone there as black as 
C
ink
      Am        Dm  G        Am
With gold and silver I did support 
her
                  Dm      G       
But I'll sing no more now, till I 
       C
get a drink

[Chorus-Outro]
      G     C             Dm 
I'm drunk today, and I'm rarely 
    G
sober
            C          Dm      G
A handsome rover from town to town
    Am        Dm     G           
Oh, but I am sick now and my 
        Am
day's are numbered
            Dm  G            C
Come all ye men, and lay me down
