(Traditional Arranged by Bryan Ferry)
Intro: D Gadd9 D Bm7 D Gadd9 D        // Gadd9==Dsus4/G

  Bm7  A       D  Gadd9 D
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
   G  A   G  G/B  D  Dsus4 D
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die

(NC)      D Bm       A  D/A A
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
      D  Bm      A
Nor have I wings so I could fly
                D   Gadd9 D
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
     G A   G G/B   D  Dsus4 D
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 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

D Dsus4 ...
