[Verse 1]
Dm G C Am
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Dm G F C
Only for nights in Ballygrant
Dm G C Am
I could swim over the deepest ocean
Dm G F C
The deepest ocean for my love to find
[Verse 2]
C Am F G
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
Am C F G
Nor do I have wings to fly
Dm G C
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
Dm G F C
To ferry me over, to my love and die
[Verse 3]
Dm G C Am
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Dm G F C
Of happy times spent long ago
Dm G C Am
My childhood friends and my own relations
Dm G F C
Have all passed on now like melting snow
[Verse 4]
C Am F G
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Am C F G
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Dm G C
But to be back now in Carrickfergus
Dm G F C
On that long road down to the sea
[Verse 4]
C Am F G
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Am C F G
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Dm G C
But to be back now in Carrickfergus
Dm G F C
On that long road down to the sea
Dm G F C
On that long road down to the sea
