A augmentedA    B minorBm E MajorE    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
I wish I was in Carrighfergus
      B minorBm  E MajorE     A augmentedA
Only for nights in Ballygrant
       B minorBm E MajorE       A augmentedA F# minorF#m
I would swim over the deepest ocean
      B minorBm  E MajorE    A augmentedA
Only for nights in Ballygrant

        F# minorF#m         E MajorE
But the sea is wide, and I can't get over
       A augmentedA F# minorF#m     E MajorE
And neither have I wings to fly
        B minorBm  E MajorE      A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
Or if I could find me a handsome boatsman
       B minorBm E MajorE        A augmentedA
To ferry me over to my love and die

     B minorBm  E MajorE     A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
Now in Kilkenny, it is reported
         B minorBm    E MajorE       A augmentedA
They've marble stones there as black as ink
        B minorBm E MajorE       A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
With gold and silver I would transport her
         B minorBm   E MajorE        A augmentedA
But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink

      F# minorF#m            E MajorE
I'm drunk today, but then I'm seldom sober
       A augmentedA F# minorF#m      E MajorE
A augmentedA handsome rover from town to town
       B minorBm   E MajorE       A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Ah, but I am sick now, my days are over
        B minorBm   E MajorE      A augmentedA
Come all you young lads and lay me down

     B minorBm E MajorE      A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
I wish I was in Carrighfergus
      B minorBm  E MajorE    A augmentedA
Only for nights in Ballygran
