Ronan Keating - Carrickfergus

capo 4th fret

Am D G Em
i wish i was , in carrickfergus
Am D G
only for nights , in ballygrant
Am D G Em
i would swim over the deepest ocean
Am D G
the deepest ocean to be by your side
G D
but the sea is wide and i cant swim over
Em Am
and nor have i the wings to fly
Am D G Em
if i could find me a handy boatman
Am D G
to ferry me over to my love and die
Am D G Em
my childhood days bring back sad reflections
Am D G
of happy time spend so long ago .
Am D G Em
my boyhood friends and my own relations
Am D G
have all passed on like the melting snow
G D
ill spend my days in endless roving
Em Am
soft is the grass and my bed is free
Am D G Em
oh to be home now in carrickfergus
Am D G
on the long road down to the salty sea
Am D G Em
and in kilkenny it is reported
Am D G
on marble stone as black as ink
Am D G Em
with gold and silver i did support her
Am D G
but ill sing no more now till i get a drink
G D
for im drunk today and im rarely sober
Em Am
a handsome rover from town to town
Am D G Em
oh but i Am sick now and my days are numbered
Am D G
so come on ye young men and lay me down
