[VERSE]
[C]I wish I [Dm]was, [G] in Carric[C]kfe[C/B]rgus [Am]
Only for [Dm]nights,[G] in Ball[C]ygran[F]t [C]
I would swim [Dm]over [G] the deepest [C]oce[C/B]an [Am]
The deepest [Dm]ocean [G] my love to [C]find[F] [C]
[CHORUS]
But the [G]sea is [C]wid[C/B]e [Am] and I can't swim [G]ove[Dm7]r [G]
And neither [C]hav[C/B]e [Am]I the [F]wings to [G]fly[Dm7] [G]
I wish I [Dm]had [G] a handsome [C]boa[C/B]tman [Am]
To ferry me [Dm]over [G] my love and [C]I [F] [C]
[VERSE]
My childhood [Dm]days [G] bring back sad re[C]flec[C/B]tions [Am]
Of happy [Dm]time [G] spend so long [C]ago[F] . [C]
My boyhood [Dm]friends [G] and my own re[C]lat[C/B]ions [Am]
Have all passed on [Dm]now [G] like melting [C]sno[F]w [C]
[CHORUS]
But I'll [G]spend my [C]day[C/B]s [Am]in endless ro[G]ami[Dm7]ng [G]
Soft is the [C]gra[C/B]ss [Am]and my [F]bed is [G]fre[Dm7]e [G]
Ah to be [Dm]back now [G] in Carrick[C]fer[C/B]gus [Am]
On that long [Dm]road [G] down to the [C]sea[F] [C]
[VERSE]
And in Kil[Dm]kenny [G] it is re[C]por[C/B]ted [Am]
On marble [Dm]stones [G] and as black as [C]ink[F] [C]
With gold and [Dm]silver [G] I would sup[C]por[C/B]t her [Am]
But I'll sing no more [Dm]now [G] till I get a [C]dri[F]nk [C]
[CHORUS]
I'm [G]drunk to[C]day[C/B] [Am]and I'm seldom [G]sob[Dm7]er [G]
A handsome [C]rov[C/B]er [Am]from [F]town to [G]tow[Dm7]n [G]
Ah but I am [Dm]sick now [G] and my days are [C]num[C/B]bered[Am]
so come on ye [Dm]young men [G] and lay me [C]dow[F]n [C]
[C]I wish I [Dm]was, [G] in Carric[C]kfe[C/B]rgus [Am]
