Capo II

 G+G   A minorAm D MajorD     G+G   E minorEm
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
     A minorAm  D MajorD  C majorC  G+G  Gsus4Gsus4
only for nights in Ballygran
       A minorAm D MajorD      G+G   E minorEm
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
     A minorAm  D MajorD  C majorC  G+G  Gsus4Gsus4
only for nights in Ballygran

    G+G   E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
      E minorEm  G+G   C majorC    D MajorD
And neither have I the wings to fly
        A minorAm D MajorD       G+G
I wish I could find me a handsome boatsman
      A minorAm  D MajorD   C majorC    G+G
To ferry me over, to my love and die.

  G+G   A minorAm  D MajorD     G+G   E minorEm
But in Kilkenny, it is reported,
     A minorAm   D MajorD    C majorC    G+G  Gsus4Gsus4
On marble stones there as black as ink
       A minorAm  D MajorD      G+G    E minorEm
With gold and silver I would support her,
         A minorAm  D MajorD         G+G   C majorC G+G
But I'll sing no more now, 'till I get a drink.

    G+G    E minorEm      C majorC   D MajorD
For I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober,
      E minorEm G+G    C majorC    D MajorD
A augmentedA handsome rover from town to town
      A minorAm    D MajorD      G+G    Gsus4Gsus4
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered,
       A minorAm  D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Come all you young men and lay me down.
