I wish I was in Carrickfergus
   G+G  A augmentedA   G+G  G/BG/B  D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die

(NC)      D MajorD B minorBm       A augmentedA  D/AD/A A augmentedA
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
      D MajorD  B minorBm      A augmentedA
Nor have I wings so I could fly
                D MajorD   Gadd9Gadd9 D MajorD
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
     G+G A augmentedA   G+G G/BG/B   D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
To carry me over my love and I

In Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I've had a drink

Well I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A augmentedA handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down
Come all you young men and lay me down
