The Ferryman chords by The Dubliners

The Ferryman



   G               C       G
The little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffy
   C             D
The ferryman is stranded on the quay
     G              C       G
Sure the Dublin docks is dying and a way of life is gone
  D      D7       G
And Molly it was part of you and me


Chorus
     D           C      G
Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffy
  C               D
You kissed away the worry from my brow
 G               C        G
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow
    D       D7      G
If you ever love me Molly love me now

     G           C        G
T'was the only job I knew it was hard but never lonely
  C             D
The Liffy ferry made a man of me
     G             C       G
And it's gone without a whisper and forgotten even now
   D       D7          G
And sure it's over Molly over can't you see


Chorus
   G                C        G
Well now I'll tend the yard and I'll spend me days in talking
     C                 D
And I'll here them whisper Charlie's on the dole
  G              C          G
But Molly we're still living and darling we're still young
     D      D7         G
And that river never owned me heart and soul


Chorus
