I wish I was in Carrickfergus
     B minorBm  E MajorE     A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Only for nights in Ballygrand
       B minorBm E MajorE     A augmentedA    E MajorE F# minorF#m
I would swim over the deepest ocean
     B minorBm  E MajorE     A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Only for nights in Ballygrand
        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
         F# minorF#m  D MajorD    E MajorE
And neither have I the wings to fly
     B minorBm E MajorE     A augmentedA     E MajorE F# minorF#m
I wish I had a handsome boatman
      B minorBm E MajorE       A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
To ferry me over my love and I.

My childhood days bring back sad 'flections
     B minorBm E MajorE     A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Of happy days so long ago
  A augmentedA    B minorBm  E MajorE       A augmentedA    E MajorE F# minorF#m
My boyhood friends and my own relations
         B minorBm  E MajorE       A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Have all passed away now like melting snow
         F# minorF#m       E MajorE
So I'll spend my days in endless roving
      F# minorF#m     D MajorD   E MajorE
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
     B minorBm   E MajorE    A augmentedA     E MajorE F# minorF#m
Ah to be home now in Carrickfergus
        B minorBm   E MajorE       A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
By the the long road down to the salty sea.

Now in Kilkenny it is reported
     B minorBm     E MajorE       A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
On marble stones there as black as ink
   A augmentedA    B minorBm  E MajorE     A augmentedA     E MajorE F# minorF#m
With gold and silver I would support her
        B minorBm   E MajorE         A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
But I'll say no more now till I?ve had a drink
        F# minorF#m        E MajorE
For I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
      F# minorF#m    D MajorD    E MajorE
A augmentedA handsome rover from town to town
      B minorBm   E MajorE         A augmentedA    E MajorE F# minorF#m
Ah but I'm sick now and my days are numbered
        B minorBm   E MajorE      A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
So come all ye young men and lay me down.
