[Verse 1]
I [G]wish I [Am]was i[Dsus4]n
[D]Carrick[G]fergus[D][Em]
Only for [Am]nights [Dsus4]in[D][Dsus4]
[G]Bal[Dsus4]lygrand[G]
I would swim [Am]over [Dsus4]the
[D]deepest [G]oce[D]an[Em]
Only for [Am]nights [Dsus4]in[D][G]
[Gsus4]Ballygran[G]d

[Verse 2]
But the sea is [Em]wide and I cannot
swim [Dsus4]over[D][Dsus4][D]
Neither have [Em]I the[C] wings to fl[Dsus4]y[D]

[Verse 3]
I wish I [Am]had a[Dsus4] hand[D]
[G]some [D]boa[Em]tsman
To ferry me [Am]over,
[Dsus4]my love a[D]nd I[G][Gsus4][Dsus4][G]
And then [Am]Kilkenny[Dsus4]
it [D]is re[G]ported[D][Em]
All [Am]marble [Dsus4]stones this
[D]black is any [G]ink[Dsus4][G]
With gold [Am]and sil[Dsus4]ver I
[D]would sup[G]port [D]her[Em]
But I'll [Am]sing no more [Dsus4]now
'til [D]I get a d[G]rink[Dsus4][G]
I'm drunk [Em]today and I'm seldom
[D]sober[Dsus4][D]
A handsome [Em]rover [C]from
town [Dsus4]to town[D]
Oh but I'm [Am]sick [Dsus4]now
my [D]days [G]are [D]number[Em]
So [Am]come here young [D]men and lay
me [G]down[Dsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
But the sea is [G]wide [Em]and
I cannot swim [Dsus4]over[D]
[Dsus4]Neither h[D]ave I[Em][C]
the wings [Dsus4]to fly[G][D]

[Verse 5]
I wish I [Am]was i[Dsus4]n
[D]Carrickfer[G]gus[D][Em]
Only for [Am]nights[Dsus4]
[D]in Ballygrand
