Capo 4th fret [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/ronan-keating/185042.html ] 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 can’t 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 I’ll 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 I’ll sing no more now till I get a drink G D For I’m drunk today and I’m 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 |
