Carrickfergus Chords

Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I wish I Amwas,D in CarrickfeGrgus Em

Only for Amnights,D in BallygGrant

I would swim AmoverD the deepestG oceanEm

The deepest oAmcean Dto be by your sidGe

But the sea is wiGde and I can’t swim oveDr

And nor have EmI the wings to flAmy

If I coulAmd fiDnd me a handy bGoatmaEmn

To ferry me oveAmr toD my love and diGe

My childhood dAmays Dbring back sad GreflectioEmns

Of happy AmtimeD spend so long Gago.

My boyhood frieAmnds Dand my own relaGtionsEm

Have all passed on liAmke tDhe melting snowG

I’ll spend my Gdays in endless Droving

Soft is the grEmass and my bed is fAmree

Oh to be AmhomeD now in CarrickGferguEms

On the long road dAmown Dto the salty sea G

And in KilkenAmny iDt is reportGed Em

On marbleAm stoDne as black as Gink

With gold aAmnd silveDr I did suppGort hEmer

But I’ll sing no more Amnow Dtill I get a driGnk

For I’m drunk tGoday and I’m rarely sobeDr

A handsome roEmver from town to toAmwn

Oh but I am sick nAmow aDnd my days are GnumbeEmred

so come on ye younAmg meDn and lay me dowGn
