Verse 1
(C major) I wished I (D minor) had you in (G major) Carrick (A minor) fergus,
Only (D minor) for nights in (Csus4) (C major) (A minor) Ballygrand,
I would swim (D minor) over (G major) the deepest (A minor) ocean,
The deepest (D minor) ocean to be by your side. (C major)
But the sea (G major) is
Verse 2
(C major) wide and I (D minor) can't swim (G major) over
And (A minor) neither (G major) (C major) have (A minor) I (D minor) wings to (G major) fly.
I (A minor) wish I could (D minor) find me (G major) a handy (A minor) boatman
To ferry me over (D minor) (G major) to my love an (C major) d die.

Verse 3
My childhood (D minor) days (G major) bring
back sad re (A minor) flections
Of happy (D minor) (G major) days so long (C major) ago.
My boyhood (A minor) (D minor) friends (G major) and
my own (A minor) relations.
Have all passed (D minor) on (G major) like the melting (C major) snow.
Verse 4
So (C major) I'll spend (A minor) my (G major) (C major) days in
end (D minor) less (G major) roving,
Soft is the grass (C major) (A minor) and (D minor) my bed (G major) is free.
Oh (A minor) to be (D minor) home now (G major) in Carrick (A minor) fergus,
On the long road down (D minor) (G major) to the salty (C major) sea.
Verse 5
And (D minor) in Kilkenny (G major) it is (A minor) reported
On marble stone (D minor) there (G major) as black as ink, (C major)
With gold (A minor) and (D minor) silver (G major) I
did support (A minor) her
But I'll sing no more (D minor) now
(G major) till I get a (C major) drink.
I'm (A minor) drunk (G major) today
Verse 6
(C major) and I'm (D minor) rarely (G major) sober,
A handsome (A minor) rover from (D minor) town to (G major) town.
Oh but I (A minor) am (D minor) sick (G major) now and my
days are (A minor) numbered
Come (D minor) all (A minor) ye (D minor) young men (G major)
and (A minor) lay (G major) me (G major) down.
(C major) (C major)
