Molly Malone(Trad.)

C                                G
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
  C            Em            Dm      G         
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
    C                              G
She wheeled a wheel-barrow through streets broad and narrow 
        C           Em        C       G     C
Crying 'Cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live, oh'


  C                   G  
A-live, a-live, oh, a-live, a-live, oh
        C           Em        C       G     C
Crying 'Cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live, oh'


She was a fishmonger, but sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before.
They both wheeled a barrow through streets broad and narrow 
Crying 'Cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live, oh'

Chorus:

She died of a fever, and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheeles her barrow through streets broad and narrow 
Crying 'Cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live, oh'

Chorus:
