Molly Malone (Cockles and Mussels) chords
James Yorkston 1884 (as performed by The Dubliners)
C majorC G+G C majorC
C majorC G+G
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
C majorC G+G
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
C majorC G+G
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow, through streets broad and narrow;
C majorC G+G C majorC
crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
C majorC G+G
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
C majorC G+G C majorC
Crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
C majorC G+G
She was a fishmonger, and sure it was no wonder,
C majorC G+G
for so were her father and mother before
C majorC G+G
And they both wheeled their barrows, through streets broad and narrow;
C majorC G+G C majorC
crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
C majorC G+G
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
C majorC G+G C majorC
Crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
C majorC G+G
She died of a fever, and no one could save her,
C majorC G+G
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
C majorC G+G
Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow;
C majorC G+G C majorC
crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
C majorC G+G
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
C majorC G+G C majorC
Crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
C majorC G+G
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
C majorC G+G C majorC
Crying cockles and mussels, alive a-live O!
