Carrickfergus

   A        D   E            A       F#m
I wish I was    in Carrickfergus
     Bbm      E          A
Only for nights in Ballygrant
        D     E               A       F#m
I would swim over the deepest ocean
     Bbm     E           A
Only for nights in Ballygrant
               F#m                   E
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
         A     D        E
Nor have I the wings to fly
   D        E                    A   F#m 
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
       Bbm   E                  A
To ferry me over to my love and die
Now in Kilkenny, it is reported 
On marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would support her
But I'll sing no more now,'til I get a drink.
I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered
So come all ye young lads and lay me down
