Chord/Tab song: Carrickfergus

Capo 4th fret

I wish I [Am]was,[D] in Carrickfe[G]rgus[Em]
Only for [Am]nights,[D] in Ballyg[G]rant
I would swim [Am]over[D] the deepest[G] ocean[Em]
The deepest o[Am]cean [D]to be by your sid[G]e
But the sea is wi[G]de and I can?t swim ove[D]r
And nor have [Em]I the wings to fl[Am]y
If I coul[Am]d fi[D]nd me a handy b[G]oatma[Em]n
To ferry me ove[Am]r to[D] my love and di[G]e
My childhood d[Am]ays [D]bring back sad [G]reflectio[Em]ns
Of happy [Am]time[D] spend so long [G]ago.
My boyhood frie[Am]nds [D]and my own rela[G]tions[Em]
Have all passed on li[Am]ke t[D]he melting snow[G]
I?ll spend my [G]days in endless [D]roving
Soft is the gr[Em]ass and my bed is f[Am]ree
Oh to be [Am]home[D] now in Carrick[G]fergu[Em]s
On the long road d[Am]own [D]to the salty sea[G]
And in Kilken[Am]ny i[D]t is report[G]ed[Em]
On marble[Am] sto[D]ne as black as [G]ink
With gold a[Am]nd silve[D]r I did supp[G]ort h[Em]er
But I?ll sing no more [Am]now [D]till I get a dri[G]nk
For I?m drunk t[G]oday and I?m rarely sobe[D]r
A handsome ro[Em]ver from town to to[Am]wn
Oh but I am sick n[Am]ow a[D]nd my days are [G]numbe[Em]red
so come on ye youn[Am]g me[D]n and lay me dow[G]n
