Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](tr[G]adi[D]tio[G]nal[D]).
I wish I [A]was in carrick[D]fergus[G][D]
Only [G]for [A]nights [G]in [D]ballygrand
I would swim [A]over the deepest [D]ocean[G][D]
Just to [G]see my [A]love [G]before I [D]die
But the sea is [Bm]wide and
I cannot [A]swim [D]over[A]
Nor have I [D]wings [Bm]so I could fly[A]
I wish I could meet a handsome
[D]boatman[G][D]
To carry [G]me [A]over [G]my love and [D]I
In [A]kilkenny it is [D]reported
On marble [G]stones [A]as [G]black as ink[D][G][D]
With gold and [A]silver I did sup[D]port her
But i´ll sing no more[G][A]
[G]till i´ve had a drink[D]
Well i´m drunk today [Bm]and
i´m seldom sober[A][D][A]
A [D]handsome [A]rov[D]er[Bm]
from town [A]to town
But I am sick now my days
are [D]numbered[A][D]
Come all you [G]young [A]men
[G]and lay me [D]down
Come all you [G]young [A]men [G]and lay me [D]down

[Outro 1]
[D]
