Cockles And Mussels Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In Dublin's fair city,
where [D]girls are so pretty,
I [G]first set my eyes on sweet
[A]Molly Mar[D]lowe.
As she [G]wheeled her wheelbarrow,
through [D]streets broad and narrow,
Grind [G]cockles and mussels,
[C]her lif[G]e a liv[D]e -o![G]
Her life a live -o!
Her [A]life [Am]a liv[G]e -o[Am]!
[D]Grind [G]cockles and mussels,
[C]her [G]life a [D]live [G]-o![D]
[G]She was a fishmonger,
and [D]short was no wonder,
for so were [G]her father and mother [A]before.
[D]And they eac[G]h wheeled their barrow
through [D]streets broad and narrow,
Crying [G]cockles and mussels,
[C]Alive, [G]ali[D]ve, oh![G]
Alive, alive, oh!
[Am]Alive, [G]alive, [Am]oh!
[D]Crying [G]cockles and mussels,
[C]Alive, [G]ali[D]ve, oh![G][Gm]
She [G]died of the fever,
and [D]no [A]one could save [Ab]her
An[D]d t[G]hat was the end o[Ab]f
[G]Sweet Molly [Cm]Mer [Eb]lot[D]
But a [G]ghost wheels her barrow
through [D]streets broad and narrow,
crying [G]cockles and mussels.
[C]Ali[G]ve, ali[D]ve, oh![G]
Alive! Alive! O!
Alive! Alive! O!
[Ab]Cryi[C#]ng cockl[G]es and mus[Abm]sels![G]
[Ab]Alive![C#]
[G]Alive! O!
