Carrickfergus

capo 4th fret Am D G Em i wish i was , in carrickfergus Am D G only for nights , in ballygrant Am D G Em i would swim over the deepest ocean Am D G the deepest ocean to be by your side G D but the sea is wide and i cant swim over Em Am and nor have i the wings to fly Am D G Em if i could find me a handy boatman Am D G to ferry me over to my love and die Am D G Em my childhood days bring back sad reflections Am D G of happy time spend so long ago . Am D G Em my boyhood friends and my own relations Am D G have all passed on like the melting snow G D ill spend my days in endless roving Em Am soft is the grass and my bed is free Am D G Em oh to be home now in carrickfergus Am D G on the long road down to the salty sea Am D G Em and in kilkenny it is reported Am D G on marble stone as black as ink Am D G Em with gold and silver i did support her Am D G but ill sing no more now till i get a drink G D for im drunk today and im rarely sober Em Am a handsome rover from town to town Am D G Em oh but i Am sick now and my days are numbered Am D G so come on ye young men and lay me down
