[F] I wish I [Dm] was  [G] in [F] Carrick-[Am]fergus,
only for [Dm] nights [G] in [F] Bally-[C]gran [Csus4] [C]  
I would [Dm] swim o-[G]ver the [F] deepest [Am] ocean,
only for [Dm] nights [G] in Bally-[C]gran [Csus4] [C]  

But the [G] sea is [Am] wide and I [F] cannot swim [G] over
And neither [Am] have I the [Dm] wings to [G] fly
I wish I could [Dm] find [G] me a handsome [C] boats-[Am]man
To ferry me [Dm] over, [G] to my [F] love and [C] die.

But [F] in Kil-[G]kenny, it [F] is re-[Am]ported,
On marble [Dm] stones [G] there as [F] black as [C] ink [Csus4]  [C]  
With gold and [Dm] silver [G] I would su-[C]pport her [Am] , 
But I'll sing no [Dm] more now, [G] 'till I get a [C] drink. 

For I'm [F] drunk to-[Am]day, and I'm [F] seldom [G] sober,
A handsome [Am] rover from [Dm] town to [G] town
Ah, but I'm [Dm] sick now, [G] my days are [C] num-[Csus4]bered, [C]  
Come all you [Dm] young [G] men and lay me [C] down

[F] I wish I [Dm] was  [G] in [F] Carrick-[Am]fergus,
only for [Dm] nights [G] in [F] Bally-[C]gran [Csus4]  [C]
