The Dubliners - Carrickfergus

^AI wish I ^Bmwas,^E in Carrickf^Aergus^Gbm Only for ^Bmnights,^E in Ballyg^Arant I would swim ^Bmover^E the deepest ^Aocean^Gbm The deepest ^Bmocean^E to be by your s^Aide

But the ^Esea is ^Awide^Gbm and I can't swim ov^Eer And nor have ^AI ^Gbm the w^Dings to f^Ely If I could ^Bmfind me ^Ea handy ^Aboatman^Gbm To ferry me ^Bmover^E to my love and ^Adie

My childhood d^Bmays ^Ebring back sad ^Areflections ^Gbm Of happy ^Bmtime^E spend so long ^Aago. My boyhood frie^Bmnds^E and my own rel^Aation^Gbms Have all passed ^Bmon ^Elike the melting ^Asnow

I'll ^Espend my ^Adays^Gbm in endless r^Eoving Soft is the g^Ara^Gbmss and my ^Dbed is ^Efree Oh to be ^Bmhome now^E in Carrickf^Aergus^Gbm On the long ^Bmroad down^E to the salty ^Asea

And in Kilk^Bmenny^E it is repo^Arted^Gbm On marble^Bm stone^E as black as ^Aink With gold and ^Bmsilver^E I did sup^Aport her^Gbm But I'll sing no ^Bmmore now^E till I get a ^Adrink

For I'm ^Edrunk to^Aday^Gbm and I'm rarely s^Eober A handsome ^Aro^Gbmver from t^Down to t^Eown Oh but I am ^Bmsick now^E and my days are n^Aumbered^Gbm so come on ye yo^Bmung men^E and lay me d^Aown
